Log mould - Gouttière à bûche

It's almost impossible to imagine Christmas dinner without a Yule log when it's time to eat the cake! There's a solution to this problem: get a Yule log mould now! The tradition of the Yule log dates back to the Middle Ages, and was intended to celebrate the winter solstice. In those days, the Yule log wasn't edible at all, since it involved burning a very large piece of wood for several days to warn of a good harvest for the coming year. Nowadays, the tradition lives on, but in a different, more gourmet form. Christmas logs come in a variety of flavors: chocolate, coffee, chestnut cream, raspberry, lemon... But whatever the recipe, it's essential to have a log mold in your cupboards. Of course, the Yule log isn't the only dessert made for the festive season! In Alsace, the Kouglof, made in a Kouglof mold, is one of the cakes served during the festive season!
