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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
