I’m so excited! I decided to serve the traditional French dessert bûche de Noël after Christmas dinner this year and ordered one from Williams-Sonoma. (Hey, you didn’t think I was gonna say I followed a recipe and made one from scratch did you?)
Isn’t it beautiful? This is a photo from Williams-Sonoma online catalog.
The bûche de Noël (literally, “Christmas log”) is a classic French holiday cake and is inspired by the Yule logs that were traditionally burned on Christmas Eve. It is typically made with a Génoise or other sponge cake and baked in a large shallow Swiss roll pan. It is frosted, rolled to form a cylinder and frosted again on the outside with a bark-like texture added for realism.
How many of you have ever served bûche de Noël?
I hope it tastes as good as it looks.
Joyeux Noël,
Kim

Your bûche looks yummy, Kim! I've had it in France and it is a fun dessert at Christmas! Wishing a wonderful Christmas to you and your family!...hugs...Debbie
I make a buch de noel every year and serve it at our Christmas eve candlelight dinner. It really isn't that hard. I'm guessing the one I make tomorrow will probably be the 30th. It couldn't/wouldn't be Christmas without it. Merry Christmas from Lexington to Pikeville.
Well, I'm drooling over the pic. I've had it, but never made it. Enjoy! Merry Christmas!
Looks so delicious!!....I can taste it now!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
