Your videos are always such a great pleasure to watch; not only because of the recipes but also because of the way you are explaining them. Every little step, so that we know what details to pay attention to. Moreover, your home is so tasteful and gives a perfect frame for those special treats. Merry Christmas, Beth!

[@PatriciaGG]

Beth, with this dessert you have adorned any Christmas Table. It´s a piece of Art. Congrats for the job that you have made. Merry Christmas to you and yours, Patricia.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Awe thanks Patricia! So glad you enjoyed it. What the traditional Christmas dessert you make in Spain? I'm sure you have some good ones! Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and happy New Year! xx

[@PatriciaGG]

In Spain, we can find Buche de Noel as well, we called it "Tronco de Navidad". But we make "Roscon de Navidad" for the 6th of January. This day " Los Reyes Magos"The three wise men" bring presents for all the kids. That morning we used to eat a piece of this cake. XX.

Really nice tips in between! Really helps understand why certain steps are necessary for specific ways! Very detail oriented production and very clean and easy to follow! Thank you :)

[@Sun-Soul]

Oh Beth, you DO know how to impress! I still remember the first time I watched this video... I was oohing and ahhing the whole way through! I intended to make it that year, but somehow time got away from me and it got pushed to the bottom of the list. This year, I'm GOING to make it happen! For the first time in over 39 years, I am actually going somewhere else for Christmas dinner! I promised to bring a dessert and I think that this will be not only gorgeous to present, but an absolute JOY to prepare! I'm so grateful you broke it down into steps the way you have! I've been a loyal watcher of your channel since it's inception, and even before when you were with Kin... and you know what? I am so much better for it! You're a class act Beth Le Manach! I'm wishing you and your family comfort and joy this Season, and all those yet to come!🍂🌾🦃🎄🌟🍾🥂💫🎉🎊❤️

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Aww thank you so much for your kind words. I'm so glad you have enjoyed the videos all these years! I truly appreciate your words of encouragement and support! And of course I absolutely remember you all these years, because of your sweet little notes and comments, encouraging me to keep going :) These YT Channels can be hard at times and a supportive community is really the only reason we can keep pushing ahead so THANK YOU! OK now for this Buche de Noel, before you set out, make sure to read all the tips in this blog post. entertainingwithbeth.com/buche-de-noel-recipe/I've troubleshooted a few common issues that will help as you move through the recipe! :) But I wish you the best of luck with it and hope it's a bit hit! Just follow the plan and I'll be there to guide you every step of the way :) HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Beth

[@Sun-Soul]

@@EntertainingWithBeth Oh, well, you're truly kind to say that. I don't think I was subscribed for a long time when I first starting watching you. I'm not the most tech savvy and was even worse back then, but once I learned of it's value to creators, I subbed to all my faves! You're standards are high, and with good reason. I'm sure it's hard to make the compromises required to do the filming and editing yourself, but you have and are doing and amazing job! I love your channel as much now as I did when you had all the assistance. Merry Holidays Beth! I'll be linked to your blog when I'm making the Buche de noel, you can be sure!❤️ Cheers!

[@lynkimaberin5956]

This is the most gorgeous Buche de Noel I've watched 😊 It looks so beautiful and delicious.

I remember last year that you promised that you will come up with video for Buche De Noel. Bravo Beth !

[@wendycosmetics]

being french I feel like I have to start learning how to make a Bûche de Noël! Thank your for the recipe, yours looks absolutely beautiful and delicious! Happy holidays Beth xx

[@Hmcet]

Ok. Mushrooms and pine cones are done! Awesome (even though my pine cones sort of resemble porcupines!) 😂. I do have another question for you. 😬I’ve made jelly roll cakes in the past, and the recipes typically say to get that cake out onto the prepared towel and roll within 10 minutes of coming from oven. The technique here is to completely cool and then roll in damp towel. Wondering if it’s this specific cake recipe that makes the difference in technique? Thanks again for your help if you’re able to see this and respond at such a busy time of year! Love your channel! 🎄

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Personally, I have had greater success with the cake being cooled since it's more fragile when it's warm and more likely to crack :) It could be because this recipe has so many egg whites in it that this makes a difference? And don't worry about the porcupines! They belong in the forest too ha! :)

[@Hmcet]

@@EntertainingWithBeth Thank you!! So far this has been really fun - porcupines and all! The mushrooms are phenomenal!

[@suzieqsez]

I think you really outdid yourself! What a showstopper!!!!

[@poppydarling86]

That was incredible! I have made one myself before but it definitely didn't look like this LOL Wonderful video, thank you so much for bringing back some great baking memories. Have a wonderful holiday!

[@marym.garcia4147]

Magnificent, Beth!

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Oh its a fun one for sure! 💕

[@nguyet.nguyen]

just a few of my tips is 1. I know this may sound really weird, but underbake the sponge a bit may make it really easy to roll, maybe just take them out 1-2 minute earlier 2. have a bit of the meringue on 4 corners of the tray so the parchment paper would stick to the tray so that when piping out the meringue, it would not lift the paper up 3. instead of fondant, a truffle can be used to do the pine cone

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Oh I like those tips! :) Thx for sharing!

[@katdalrymple9428]

Omg I am literally making this tomorrow for a french project, this is so helpful.

Omg! That is just so impressive. Beautiful, looks kinda daunting but worth a try.

[@RDK-2292]

Wow... just wow

[@WinterWind]

We made this one year in French class at school. We did it with ganache icing with fork lines through it though and we also cut a piece off the end to stick on the side to make it look more like a log.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Awe how fun! The first time I made this was 30 years ago in French class too! Ha! I made it with my sister, who was also in the class, it was a complete disaster! So much so we called it the "Buche de NO-BLAH!" ha! Funny what a few years of perfecting it can do. I'll have to send her this video so she can see how far we've come ha! Hope you enjoy!

[@barbararuggiero298]

Hey there, gonna give this one a try this year, looks gorgeous! What chocolate do you use for melting?

[@Hey_Ruthie]

It looks so delicious! I made one last year and it was great. However, a chocolate hazelnut filling sounds divine!

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Oh yes it's the perfect nutty flavor to go with a yulelog and continue the whole woodsy theme :) Hazelnut is also such a great holiday flavor! xx

[@MsScorpyscorp]

Beth, you are by far the best cook on KZbin and one of the hardest workers, I have seen. This dessert is so impressive 😍😍😍 and is enough to knock everybody else's socks off. The log is great but the PC's and 🍄's, are to die for. 👏👏👏👏 just 1 qs : is the pastry cream (w/o the Nutella), also known as diplomat cream?

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Awe you are too kind :) thanks for your sweet note :) To answer your question I think diplomat cream is a bit lighter than pastry cream or Crème Pâtissière as it's known in France. But I'm sure diplomat cream would be lovely in this too :) Hope you enjoy!

[@candiceangeli3334]

Wow! This is a masterpiece!

[@KaterinaGeorganta]

Beautiful!!!! Amazing!!! I really wanted to make one!!!!! Thank you for the recipe!

[@Designedbyalebanese]

For the pine cones, I like to mix equal parts shredded coconut, digestive cookies, add table spoon of cocoa powder and some condensed milk. It takes really good and u can decorate it with almonds :)

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Oh lovely idea! :)

[@stacylamb980]

What a masterpiece. I have my Christmas menu in place but I am having a second dinner party on New years Day. I can make it for celebration. I pooped from my cooke bking marathon yesterday.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Oh yes it would be great for New Years too! Yes those cookie making marathons can surely take there toll! :) Time to curl up with some hot cocoa, relax and enjoy the season! :) Ha! Happy Holidays Stacy!
