Creativity comes in all flavors. This week it involves chocolate, baking, and Julia Child.
Watch this episode to see how common items such as flour, sugar, and eggs can be creatively combined to make an edible yule log.
As many of you know, I love baking, and part of the reason is how those same ingredients in the Buche can be combined in all sorts of other ways to make all sorts of other things to eat. It’s part chemistry, part thermodynamics, and a bit of art thrown all together.
And how did people first think up these things? I’ve made Buche de Noel cakes, but only because I’ve seen others do it. Someone had to be first. Someone had to look at what they had in the pantry one day and said to themselves “I can make all this look like a festive yule log!”
This time of year offers a great deal in the way of opportunities to bake creatively. There are lots of delicious projects that require decorations and designs. Take advantage of it to exercise your creative muscles.
