My only attempt at a Buche de Noel was a disaster, it didn't look like a log at all, it was a very messy cake. LOL I'll have to ask for more hints on how to roll a jelly roll cake, so they don't crack and fall apart.

I made a pumpkin loaf for Thanksgiving. It cracked only slightly. They say to cool only a few minutes before rolling in a tea towel sprinkled with powdered sugar.But my opinion is that if it is still too warm this will cause it to crack. Next time I will let mine cool a little longer.

I have made this roll for many years but instead of the "glaze" I use this frosting:
Cream 1/2 cu butter, 2 cu confectioners sugar and 1/4 cu cocoa. Add 1 teas instant coffee powder and 2 teas water. This roll filled and frosted freezes well.
