Bûche de Noël

On Christmas eve day I baked a Bûche de Noël. It has been a LONG time since I made one. I learned to make it in eighth grade durring my semester in London. In cooking class in Tucson we learned to make nachos with cheeze whiz, in London we learned to make bûche de Noël. This recipe was quite a bit more complicated, but worth it! It was scrumptious! I rolled a thin chocolate génoise cake with a layer of chocolate mousse and then covered it with a chocolate whipped cream icing. The day before we made meringue mushrooms, which we then used to decorate the buche. It looked beautiful and tasted even better.
