The Yule Stump!

After a frenzy of 14 cakes for Christmas, I had little time to make the genoise required for a traditional yule log. I opted instead to double a batch from one of my banana cakes, made a little extra salted caramel, and chocolate hazelnut mousseline. With the addition of a few fondant mushrooms, acorns and holly, I was quickly able to put together the yule log's close relation - the yule stump.

Happy Holidays To You All!
