Buche de Noel

[louiselux]

Fired up by memories of Antique Bakery, I'm going to have a go at making this Buche de Noel. Aka chocolate log.

Getting a 'wood-like effect' using cream and melted chocolate sounds difficult though, and I'm not entirely convinced by Delia's efforts in the picture shown. Doesn't it look like it has the potential for messy disaster?

This one looks extremely log-like - I like the presentation.

This one is a bit frightening, but it has fake mushrooms. Hmmm.

This one is more sophistamacated - but not very log like.

I had a thought ... I remember my Mum making a yule log which she coated with melted Mars Bars. The combo of choc, nougat and toffee was pretty effective in getting the lumpy, wooden look.

Aha! I like her style of thinking. I'm looking forward to experimenting with this!
