We decided to make a Yule Log. What is a Yule Log? I'd be SO impressed if you knew. Essentially, it is a cake that looks like a log. We saw a Disneyland Holiday food special on tv and decided to make one. We consulted many blogs, websites, and friends to find the right recipes and tricks to make it. In the end, we decided to go all out and try the Disneyland recipe. We doubled it and left out the coffee and liquor. Don't ask how much powdered sugar, butter, or eggs went into this. You do the math, but it was a lot!
So, here is our Yule Log journey...
Noon: Began step 1. Making the cake part
1pm: The two flat logs
Thanks to Krazy Sub, we got a board strong enough to hold our extremely heavy log. We decorated the board :)
4pm: After the frosting was made & applied, we rolled the two logs up.
5pm: The assembling process began!
5:15: Two coats of frosting (buttercream then chocolate)
Finally, we added the rest of the decor. Not a good picture, but you get the idea.
We added a Hidden Mickey as a tribute to our Disney recipe.
6pm: Transportation to Maricopa. Yikes. What a trip. Sad to say, some frosting didn't make it...
We are obviously not Disney master chefs with the finest ingredients or appliances, but we got the point across! If you notice the time it took, this was definitely a once-a-year thing. However, it was very fun to make!
