Buche de Noel

The Christmas log (Bûche de Noël) is a traditional French Christmas dessert that echoes in shape the wooden log. Like Mamie told us, this dessert is inspired by a tradition that people in France had back in the days: not having a lot of money, during winter the families would choose the biggest wooden log to burn in the fireplace keeping them all warm through the night. Gluttonous and refined, our log is the king of Christmas cakes par excellence.
