The cake is made much like a [[jelly roll]], but instead of being filled with [[jelly]], it is filled with [[buttercream]] or [[whipped cream]]. The end of the cake is cut off at an angle and put at the side of the log to look like a branch. Then, the entire cake is frosted and the frosting is dragged with a [[fork]] to imitate the bark of a log. There are many creative ways of decorating the cake using [[candy]] [[mushroom]]s and [[leaf|leaves]] or [[silk]] greenery. The Buche de Noel is not only for looks, but it is as delicious as it is beautiful. | The cake is made much like a [[jelly roll]], but instead of being filled with [[jelly]], it is filled with [[buttercream]] or [[whipped cream]].
