We've never had a buche from Stella's, but everything else we've gotten from there has been divine!

Le Caprice in Columbia Heights has them, with a little gold saw. Very cute! I haven't tasted them, but their other cakes are awesome so I assume the buche is too. Slightly unrelated, the owners are the nicest people, so I would never buy anything from WF that I could get from Le Caprice. Shop local and all that.

Agree. The only item we ever buy from the bakery there.

I got one at praline too. Very cute, so so on taste, and very expensive

I make my own. It's not that difficult to do - just a jelly roll cake with chocolate buttercream.

I have gotten one at Praline in Bethesda and it was great. They had a few flavors. Call and put in an order ahead of time.

If tout de sweet in Bethesda would make you one I bet it would be good.

I got one from Heidelberg Bakery last year, but it was just okay.

If Randolphs bakery in Arlington still exists, they have the best I have ever had.

I would love to round off my Christmas dinner with a Buche, either traditional cake or ice cream version.

Where do you recommend I order one?

Thank you!
