Last weekend my mother in-law helped to prepare the starters for one of her grandkids birthday party. She is really creative and wanted to get the little ones to eat at least some vegetables. She called this creation cucumber lollipops to make it more appealing to the kids. The birthday boy choose to serve them as mingle food while the guest were arriving. They went away in a blink of an eye.
A homemade French Bûche de Noël (Christmas log) is made of a chocolate sponge roll layers and filled with both white and dark chocolate mousse. The cake is covered in chocolate and decorated as a tree log. The fun part is to decorate the cake with small Christmas decorations.
