Easy Mini Bûche De Noël Cakes

Agnes Hsu
Make the easiest mini Bûche De Noël (yule log cakes) with this easy hack for using chocolate snack cakes. A simple holiday treat even kids can make!

Ingredients
  

  • Store-bought mini snack chocolate cake rolls like Little Debbie Swiss Rolls or Yodels
  • Store-bought chocolate frosting (we used Betty Crocker)
  • Mini Mushroom cake toppers
  • Powdered sugar for snow
  • Faux craft pine greenery and mini pine cones 

Instructions
 

  • To make a delicious and easy Bûche de Noël (Yule Log), start by taking Little Debbie's Swiss Rolls and laying them flat on a parchment-lined baking pan. Freeze for at least 30 minutes so they are easier to handle. 
    Spread some ready-made chocolate frosting over the rolls to create mini “logs”. If you do not have Betty Crocker chocolate frosting around, any chocolate frosting will work.
    Cut some snack cakes in thirds to add to the sides of a whole cake to more resemble fallen logs. 
    Next, take some craft mushroom cake toppers and place them around and on the rolls for a festive design. 
    We put the mushrooms directly on top of the rolls and the pine and greenery surrounding them.
    Lastly, sprinkle it with powdered sugar to give it a light snow-like effect. If you're feeling fancy, you can even add a "snow drift" on top.
    Now all you have to do is enjoy your delicious and easy Bûche de Noël.
    Note: if serving later don't add the powdered sugar until right before you serve the cakes as it will "melt" into the frosting shortly after you sprinkle over the top of the frosting due to the moisture. Step Two: Add Some Mushrooms and Pine DecorationsStep Three: Top it Off With a bit of Powdered SugarBrilliant Ways to Enhance Bûche de Noël Rolls
