Our personal chef makes one that is far superior to anything I've samples around high end DC and VA bakeries. He does import most of the ingredients directly from the Alsace though.

Responses like this keep me addicted to DCUM.

Agreed! I don't think this is a real person but rather an amusing persona, love it.

Fresh Baguette for the win!

I looked at theirs and they are too untraditional for me. They aren’t jelly rolls, they are layer cakes, and they have flavors like mango coconut.

The one from Swiss Bakery is delicious. https://theswissbakery.com/

I semi-homemake it. Buy a swiss roll from the bakery at HMart. Cut the end off at an angle and attach it at an angle to the rest of the cake with frosting. Cover the whole log in frosting, lightly scratch with fork to texturize and dust with powdered sugar.

+1. Well, I haven't had the buche, but their other desserts are excellent, classic French patisserie. Not too sweet.

No, my husband bakes one every year.

Boulangerie Christophe makes a good one. Different flavors too.

I made this ice cream version last year, and it was a hit. The recipe doesn't call for icing, but you can easily add buttercream.

It's so easy to make. DD and I do it every year. I do order meringue mushrooms to decorate.

I would appreciate very much if you would share the name of the cherry liqueur he uses. Thank you.
