I thought this Yule log was just okay. The cake was a bit too dense for my taste and the frosting was a bit too sweet. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different recipe.

This Yule log was delicious, but it was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used semisweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
