I have no idea on the origin of log cakes. I understand that it is a European tradition and is known as Buche de Noel in France which means er .. Christmas Log. I have been putting off making any log cakes this year until I got an order for one last week, and I was informed that I promised to make one for a friend when I was tipsy from too much wine LOL.
These are tiramisu log cakes with a chocolate ganache 'tree bark'. I thought I would make it a bit more tropical by piping grass at the bottom of the logs. Imagine the beginning of winter before the grass dies off ....

Wow, what is a tiramisu log cake? sponge rolled up with mascarporne ah? can hold its shape?
Mix the mascarpone with whipped cream and gelatine. It will hold the shape nicely. But must wait for it to set a bit before you put onto the cake if not it will flow everywhere LOL.
