Advent Calendar Day 5
In 2017 I started the tradition of giving away a Buche de Noel, and I think I'll do it again this year, but earlier since the stores tend to sell out quickly.
Did I hear you ask What is a Buche de Noel? It's an edible Yule Log, that's what. :-)
Th e bûche de Noël is a French holiday favorite, inspired by the giant yule logs that were traditionally burned on Christmas Eve. The bakers at the small, family-owned We Take the Cake bakery have handcrafted this one with their best-selling chocolate génoise cake, rolled with rich coffee buttercream and finished with chocolate cream cheese frosting "bark." Whimsical berry-laden fondant holly leaves and crisp meringue/marzipan mushrooms add festive flourish.
They are quite delish, I assure you. And a very nice change from pie.
So today's giveaway--limited to readers in the US, unfortunately--is a Buche de Noel from Williams and Sonoma. It's always tricky pulling this one off, so be sure to check back this weekend to see if you've won because we have very few days to get the order in!
