Christmas traditions are sometimes so overwhelming that someone just needs to react. Evidently, the French traditional bûche de Noël, a cake made to look like a yule log (usually with meringue mushrooms as a decoration) has now inspired lots of ironic versions from famous pastry shops. I just loved the nine images of cakes in this article: "
These Redesigns of a French Christmas Dessert Will Make You Salivate." Actually, they make me laugh!

"The Magic of Christmas bûche de Noël from chocolatier A la Mère de Famille
has Santa caught in some kind of magic act." |

evidently compete to make the most elaborate versions. |
Well, I got my chuckle for the day:) Thanks Mae...
ReplyDeleteLove these..especially the 'magic' Santa!
ReplyDeleteThose bûches are so tempting. Luckily we have a French bakery close-by, “Douceur de France” and they make a very nice bûche de Noël.
