BÛCHE DE NOËL (FILLING, FROSTING & MARZIPAN MUSHROOMS)
Steps:
- For filling: Whip cream until light. Add sugar and extract & whip until heavy, adding stabilizer as cream whips. Unroll cake and spread with cream. Roll up filled cake & place it seam side down on a serving plate. For frosting: Melt chocolate in double boiler over simmering, very hot water (lightly boiling is fine but do not let the bottom of the pan touch the water). Add the marzipan to the melted chocolate and stir to blend. Add a few T of cream and blend further. When smooth, remove from heat and replace hot water with ice wather. The bowl can touch the water at this point. Using a hand mixer or heavy wire whisk,mix the frosting over the iced water until it gets cold and begins to stiffen. It should be stiff enough to hold it shape and not slide off the cake onto the serving plate but not so stiff that it won't spread. Spread frosting on cake using a knife dipped in water to keep the process going. Be careful not to tear the cake. When done, run the tines of a fork long-wise thru the frosting to simulate the look of tree bark. For the mushrooms: Roll marzipan into various sized small balls (around 1" in diamter).Push the blunt end of a chopstick or similar tool into one side to make space for a stem and to form the mushroom into the desired shape. Make stems by rolling small bits of marzipan between your two palms (like making clay snakes) and then "smush" the stem into the hole. Dip tops of mushrooms into cocoa powder or dust with cocoa by using a pastry brush. Make enough to give each person at least one mushroom with their slice of Bûche de Noël. When you make the mushrooms, be on the lookout for thieves. I keep an extra tube of marzipan on hand just in case I need to make more! Decorate the plate with seasonal greens, berries,pine cones and the marzipan mushrooms. Joyeux Noël a tous!
