For many families, there are different types of holiday traditions that get passed down from generation to generation. Some families leave Christmas cookies out for Santa Claus, while others build and decorate gingerbread houses. And then there’s the tradition of eating a cake shaped like a log on Christmas.
What is a Yule Log?
Yule logs, also known as bûche de Noël, are rolled sponge cakes filled with cream and covered in chocolate buttercream to look like tree bark. People often decorate these sweet logs with meringue mushrooms, marzipan holly and more.
