Bûches (Christophe Felder, Camille Lesecq)

In French.

This sparkling duo of pastry chefs teaches you how to create the sweetest symbol of the end-of-year celebrations. On the ridges, decorations are characters from Christmas tales, but traditional mushrooms also rub shoulders with graphic modernity. The exoticism of sunny fruits meets the winter cold of icy logs. Brilliant glazes conceal games of textures, scents and colors. The secrets of the logs appear when cut: dacquoise, mousse or sponge cake, lemon cream, praline or stewed red fruits. When a pastry chef superimposes the convivial good and the festive beauty, each recipe becomes a luminous surprise.
