Christmas Cake

"Bûche de Nöel" is the classic cake for Christmas in France. Traditionally it is made of sponge cake, covered with a chocolate butter cream, rolled into a log, and then frosted again. It is decorated with meringue mushroom, and small objects like Santa Claus, Christmas trees and chocolates. It looks like a fancy log ready for the fire. At Christmas, all the patisseries have their windows filled bûches, from very classic (like in the bottom picture) to a more elaborate and fancy presentation (like on the top picture). In the modern versions the butter cream has been replaced with a lighter mousse, macaroon shells are added to the decor, and they offer exotic flavors like passion fruit for adventurous consumers.

Trailers are great accessories for cars, but most are utilities that provide great services for freight, vehicles and even of animals.
