Tasty Tuesday
Tuesday is all about taste. Now I do think I’ve gotten a lot better over the past year at taking pictures of all my tasty treats in this blog. I still struggle a lot when I have to take pictures in the dark. I’m not a fan of what the flash does to the food. But I’m working on it… I didn’t want to post a picture of food today. It’s a bit obvious and there are tons of food pictures in my blog already.
Hubby couldn’t tell what this picture was at first… He had to look at it for a minute. I happen to love it. If you can’t figure it out, post a comment and I’ll let you know.
Yes, I did pour all of our silverware onto our couch for this shot. Hubby came home as I was putting it all back and he look confused.

Looks great!! I love the history info too 🙂 Congrats you did an awesome job!
Love the history info and your buttercream looks so silky. Nicely done!
good job! rolls like the yule log and the pumpkin roll really aren’t too hard to make, but they’re great to bring to get togethers b/c everyone loves them 🙂
Congrats on your first “real” yule log. I wasn’t crazy about the buttercream either, though I did like the coffee flavor!
Yum! Very nice, creamy-looking buttercream. Looks delish! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I went for raspberry inside too – and agree that chocolate frosting would be tastier. Good job!
You did an awesome job, Jen!
Your log turned out so pretty – as did the mushrooms!
Way to go!

Your log looks wonderful, so silky creamy. Happy Holidays!
Your log looks awesome. Congratulations on completing the challenge.
Very pretty! I thought this one was harder than the “Buche” I made in French class too.
I love your texturing – nice log!
Job well done. I made it with chocolate buttercream and I think it would have gone lovely with raspberry.
I love the idea of the raspberry filling with the coffee buttercream. That must have tasted incredible.
As worldly as I thought I was at the time, I never could have attempted anything this complex in high school. You did a great job with your… it looks luscious!
I hope you had a joyous holiday, and that 2008 brings you health and happiness, laughter and love.
Great bûche de Noël and I loved reading your post.
Happy Holidays!
