Snow and Christmas lights means it is finally holiday time in Paris.  Today we made a Buche Pistache-Chocolat or a Chocolate-Pistachio Log Cake.  It was referred to as a Yule Log by a few Americans in our demonstration class, but this is not actually what it is.  While it was made in a log shaped pan it was not rolled up, it was baked, cut, and layered back together with chocolate ganache and simple syrup.  Here are a few photos:

Until next time Au Revoir and Bon Appetit!
