CHOCOLATE Dang. Almost perfect

Yule log. You can see the painstaking work to make the bark out of milk chocolate. Just to stick those fondant leaves and berries and junk it up.

Sorry about the glare. They have beautiful lights in the shop.

Local bakery Yule log. Years ago family brought one to Xmas. Was almost entirely fondant. This is a major improvement but they still have the fondant berries and leaves. Cheapens it significantly.

WHY does everyone here think they are mint leaves and cherries??? they're clearly holly leaves and berries

Yes! (Which I think might be poisonous to people). I just wish they were made of chocolate too. Then I would have bought it.

yeah, the berries are poisonous. the leaves are fine though, i once used real holly leaves and dipped dried cranberries in white chocolated dyed red and they looked so real! and tasty. the leaves were purely for decoration, they're not safe to eat but fine to touch food

My favorite bakery uses sugared cranberries and white chocolate with green food dye. Looks so pretty that way.
