Inspired by the log burning tradition in Scandinavian countries, Yule Log Cakes became popular in the 19th century. French bakeries began featuring a sponge cake topped with filling and rolled into a log. Ganache Frosting was spread on the cake to resemble bark. This timeless dessert is still popular today. The decorating possibilities are endless. Frosted cranberries and springs of rosemary add a very festival look.
