Hey, I am a Daring Baker, and have the privilege of successfully completing the December challenge, ‘Yule Log’.
Finally D-day dawned and having got all the ingredients ready, set out for the major expedition. I was a bit apprehensive as there were some comments about the butter cream curdling and not enough to cover the log. For me it was a beginners luck..as everything went smooth, the butter cream did not curdle, had enough of the cream to cover the log.
I wanted to have my log a bit on the darker-brown side; but was afraid to break the rules. Sprinkled some coco powder on the finished log and got a bit of a dark-brown.
In fact, I was not too sure whether to have two stumps or one. Made two actually, and my son said “ That looks strange!”..so chop-chop went the upper stump.
So Ooo.la..laaaaaaaaa. get ready to see my log ;)
Look forward to the next challenge and am sure I’ll do a better job than this one.
