The Yule log (also known as a bûche de Noël in France and Canada) is a traditional dessert served around the Christmas holiday. Chocolate cake with a whipped cream filling is rolled and decorated with chocolate bark for a very festive treat. I have been making this every Christmas since I was a child. My decorating has evolved over the years and this year I created chocolate to look like real bark.
