Yule Log Fail

 I thought it'd be fun to make something different for Christmas dessert that I've never made before - a  'Bûche de Noël' or Yule Log (essentially a chocolate roll, like a pumpkin roll - chocolate cake rolled up around a whipped cream filling. I followed the recipe I saw at delish, there was a video and everything and honestly it didn't seem that hard. I was wrong.

This is how it's supposed to look:


I will say for the record that this tasted really good - I just couldn't serve it in its intended log shape. So I chopped it up and we had 'deconstructed yule log' or 'yule log trifle' hahaha. 

This is real life 😂:





The filling is very thick and held its shape which was great. The cake didn't crack until after I rolled it around the filling and then the whole thing just fell apart. I turned it over and frosted the underside, and then cubed it up into chunks and layered them in a clear trifle bowl - I forgot to take a picture but you can picture what cake and cream chunks looks like right? hahahah.  Tasted good but the presentation was
a fail - I guess I could have still served slices 'whole' and messy but I do not like to serve ugly food LOL.

Sigh. Oh well.
