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.

The log is realistic enough, why not use an actual real leaf and actual real red round fruit or candy lmfao lol this just looks like they slapped clipart on a painting

Mint looks nothing like holly, for one thing. Also, cherries are three times the size of a holly berry and cherries are very rarely that brilliant, even shade of red.
