Christmas Yule Log

CHRISTMAS YULE LOG

  

What better way to celebrate Christmas? For Christmas eve I decided to try out a couple of yule logs, as well as other Christmas treats. They were hard to pull off but worth it in the end result.

 

Christmassy vanilla sponge roll filled with chocolate buttercream, topped with fondant holly's

 

 

 

HOW TO MAKE CHRISTMAS HOLLY TOPPERS

 

1. Get a small chunk of two coloured fondants (red and green preferably
 

2. Separate the red fondant into three small sections and roll into small berry    

    sized balls
 

3. Place on a greaseproof. paper (optional) and leave aside.
 

4. Roll out the green fondant thin, but not too thin that holes will appear
 

5. With a spoon begin to take chunks from all sides of the fondant
 

6. Repeat this step on another small sheet of rolled out fondant
 

7. Place the fondant holly's under the fondant red berry's and leave refrigerated
    to avoid melting and/or becoming ruined
