Decadent Yuletide Cakes

Yuletide logs or here in Québec, “Bûche de Noël” are an absolute tradition in my family.  I have made them every year now for quite some time.  I am most fond of the Vanilla cake with Mocha filling and a deep Chocolate frosting.  I think it’s really my favorite, especially if you like coffee.  I now bake a delicious Vanilla cake with a “Tutti-Frutti” filling (cherries and peaches, yummm!) with a Vanilla-Almond frosting and delectable White-Coconut Chocolate bark, oh my I can’t wait to eat it!!  

Village Sweets has our Specialty Yuletide Logs (Bûche de Noël) on our Menu for ordering in case anyone is interested…

Old Fashioned Briar Roses

Briar Roses are just beautiful.   Adding them to this cake has made it an elegant and simple look.  All these roses were made of gum-paste and brushed with a little edible petal dust.  I also included some Stephanotis flowers for some added drama.  I finished the cake with an edging of small and medium size beading.   I think it turned out quite nicely.  It’s been out too long and it’s mellllllltingggg…    :O   So annoying when the weather just does not want to co-operate!

Below is a picture of a Stargazer Lily that I just completed, which has also been fashioned with gum-paste and painted with some edible petal dust.  Just thought I would add it the photos, lol.
