For Christmas this year, Munch will be making the classic French Christmas dessert, buche de Noel, to order. Otherwise known as a Yule log, a buche de Noel is a classic French Christmas dessert, shaped and decorated to resemble the logs traditionally thrown on the Yule fire. Yule logs come in as many varieties as there are bakers. The Munch version starts with a vanilla Genoese sponge cake that is spread with rich hazelnut mousse before being rolled up. The rolled cake is then frosted with dark chocolate buttercream, with the classic meringue “mushrooms” added to complete the presentation.
As well as the buche de Noel Christmas special, Munch will also be making classic cut-out Christmas cookies, cut into star shapes and decorated with piped white royal icing and edible glitter in gold. Two flavours are available – lemon and almond sugar cookies, and spicy gingerbread cookies – and can be ordered in mixed boxes, or just one of the flavours if preferred.
Both specials will be available from the first of November. To find out more about ordering, delivery and prices, e-mail me at emma@munchfoodcakes.co.za.
