Food is always an important part of the Christmas season. Lauren and I enjoyed making a Yule Log for Christmas Eve dinner. Here are a few of the steps:
We began by baking a chocolate sponge cake in a jelly roll pan.
After the cake cooled, we spread a homemade whipped cream over the cake
Next we carefully rolled the cake
Homemade chocolate buttercream frosting was then applied to the log (notice the smaller logs on the side. We cut the ends of the cake and positioned them on the log).
Drag the tines of a fork through the frosting to create the bark effect and sprinkle with powdered sugar to add "snow."

| The cross stitch ornaments are the first ornaments I made for Chip and Lauren. The pasta ornament is a favorite of mine, Chip made it in preschool. |

Hope you had a very Merry Christmas!
