I was finally taking the time to read through some of my favorite sites yesterday (Design*Sponge) and came across this marvelous stuffed animal version of a bûche de noël made by Kayte Terry. And as much as I have always wanted one, this is actually the first year I have ever even had a bûche de noël, thanks to Susanna and Mitch who brought us one for Christmas.
Martha Stewart, of course, always seems to have a recipe for one (like here, or here, or here) but I have always been a little too intimidated by the meringue mushrooms and the faux bois chocolate bark (due to the stress induced while making the Spring Shower Almond petits fours with Lara a few years back), which are what actually make it the Yule Log, for me, at least. So perhaps next year, I will try to make to the stuffed version — as it really cannot be any more difficult than baking those stupid petits fours.
