WARNING: This is an amazingly long post. Don't hurry, take your time, breath deeply and save this page. You'll need that when you feel sleepy...

Good Lord, this month, I really feared I'd not be able to complete this Challenge. (Actually, I have barely been able to post... ¬¬) And it still is my second time with DBs!!! Will I survive? o.O
But finally I did, after two trips, and one failed attempt, I could complete it on the last day! (Or almost, I'll explain this better, later on, in this post. ^.^'
But anyway, After more than a week without posting, finishing the year with a Daring Bakers challenge is quite an event! And for all the long waiting, my friends, you'll recieve 6 recipes in one!
I'll tell you:
This month's challenge is brought to us by the adventurous Hilda from Saffron and Blueberry and Marion from Il en Faut Peu Pour Etre Heureux.
They have chosen a French Yule Log by Flore from Florilege Gourmand.
"What is a French Yule Log?", you would ask. And I would answer: "Yule Log is a christmas time dessert made by rolling a cake and then shaping and decorating it as a real wooden log. I could use any rolled cake, or even my Bolo de Rolo! But this is not French... (Don't ask me why, now...) A French Yule Log is like a layered dessert, log shaped."
That would be my answer.
But that's not enough, for Daring Bakers! No, ah, no, it isn't!
Our Bûche du Nöel Française must consist of many layers, on the following order, from down to top:
1 - Almond Dacquoise Biscuit
2 - Chocolate Ganache
3 - Mousse
4 - Crispy Layer
5 - Mousse
6 - Créme Brulée (although not bruléed)
7 - Mousse
8 - Almond Dacquoise Biscuit (optional)
9 - Chocolate Icing
Quite easy, huh? Not at all! Hahahaha
