I'd like to comment from my esteemed position as one of the "eaters of the buche." It was absolutely AWESOME. Aside from being awestruck at the chef hanging in there for 2 days and actually pulling off these crazy culinary tasks, none of us could believe how incredible the end result actually tasted. It was a bit difficult to watch such a work of art actually be cut into and consumed, but once we started eating it, little in the world could stop us.

I, who helped ZERO in this attempt, was honored to eat such a delicious dessert.

GORGEOUS!! amazing job, M!!!

Mary Anne! First of all, congrats to you and your mom! You made a French yule log!!

Second, you had me at bûche. I died at Bon Appetit no-bake bûche and again at the freakishly real-looking mushrooms and once more at the hardball/softball convo.

Third, I love this post.
