It's Christmas!

Isn't it? I'm pretty sure it is, because I made a beautiful Buche de Noel yesterday, and that's definitely not a summer dessert.

Buche de Noel is the easiest cake I've ever made. It's made from a half sheet of basic genoise, spread with Swiss buttercream, then rolled up. Then you cut off a bit from one end to make a branch, frost the whole thing, decorate, and voila! It's Christmas!


I especially like the meringue mushrooms.



It snowed! Merry Christmas!
