I love to make Buche de Noel's. This one was made from a chocolate roll cake and filled with hazelnut buttercream. I frosted it first with ganache then made it look like a log with chocolate buttercream that I combed with a combing tool. The holly leaves and berries are made from gumpaste and the mushrooms are meringue. The santa and trees are molded chocolates.
Merry Christmas!!
