For our 😋 Dinner Date!! 😋 I made a Mocha Yule Log Cake with Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting and Meringue Mushrooms! (Click the links for the written recipes) Those of you who have followed my blog for years know that I make one of these cakes every year! This time though, I got in on film! I'm learning about Google Analytics 😕 and apparently the searches for Yule Log Cakes are at their peak at the end of November, so I decided to make this video now and publish it to see how it fares. Most of the cake (I ate some lol) is in the freezer for Christmastime! 🎄

Yay, Dancin' Santa! It's booty shaking time! I've never been brave enough to attempt making a yule log cake. Yours looks great!
ReplyDeletePockets are an essential. And how I wish that more women's clothing manufacturers realised that. Your Christmas fare looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteDaffy is looking so dapper! Your yulecake looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteWow Christmasy!
ReplyDeleteHowdy, Santa!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy day, dear Rain. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteLove your Daffy, he is looking dapper. The dancing singing Santa is cute. Your cake looks delicious, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day!
Looks like you are getting ready for Christmas. I do like Daffy's outfit. Have a great day today.
ReplyDeleteDear Rain, I hope that Daffy gets to the party in time - but the late guests are supposedly the best anyway ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow, Santa's hip swing is really sexy!
I also have some kind of Santa WITH pockets but WITHOUT hip swing ;-)
Your cake and other sweets look delicious!!!
Hugs, Traude

I'll have to watch the video for the Yule log cake. I made one... once. It was tough. But my grandson scoffed the whole thing down. He was a growing teenager at the time. Your recipes are lovely. I'm putting some in my Xmas book
ReplyDeleteYou should call him Dapper Daffy ... such a handsomely dressed duck. I had forgotten about Dancing Santa ... are you going to show us his dance and his pockets? I hope so :) I will definitely be watching your Blue Night Scene video. I need to learn more water color technique and I love how it looks. Your Mocha Yule Log cake looks yummy ... and you would know since you already tasted it (if I had made that cake it would be gone by now LOL) and I love meringue in any shape or form and your mushrooms look yummy. Now a nice glass of Egg Nog would go perfectly with all of this. Do I have to wait until Christmas to eat Christmas goodies? Actually I am cutting out sugar again so I can be in shape for my trip to Thailand and Australia ... so this will be a real test of my will power (No Christmas goodies :( ). I have been so busy. This week Jackie has two doctors appointments, my granddaughter has one appointment and I have a hair cut appointment ... this all in addition to all the other stuff that keeps me on the run. Makes me tired just thinking of it (and I am laying ground for my excuse for being remiss in staying in touch. Hopefully today I will be able to shoot you a text :) Hope all is well with you ... next weeks prompt is perfect timing as we are sort of snowed in already 🤣 Stay warm, Rain ...

That Santa is such a cutie. And I'm so impressed with your yule log cake. I've made pumpkin rolls and ice cream cake rolls before but never one decorated for the holiday. Maybe this year!
ReplyDeleteI came back to add a little art -- not mine, but the crafty little grands!
ReplyDeleteI do like your Dancing Santa :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you for your wonderful post, dear Rain. Thank you also for hosting.
ReplyDeleteArt in everyday life helps - as it does for me - to overcome the heaviness of these days with war and differences. I write it several times and can always repeat it.
Now I wish you and your dear family a festive 1st Advent. Hugs from Heidrun
I love seeing your dancing Santa, Rain. Yours is the best!
ReplyDeleteThe Dancing Santa was fun, Rain, and we have singing snowmen and another that plays a sax. The yule log cake and meringue mushrooms looked to good with the nice candy canes added. I made a pumpkin, craisin bread last week. It was good and so easy.
ReplyDeleteDancing Santa is really cool. Have a great week, Rain.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blog
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to visit your blog. I would love to taste your cake. It looks great, too pretty to eat.
ReplyDeleteI saved your Mocha Log Yule Cake video to watch later, It is so pretty!
