Mark requested a yule log cake so I reached out to my gutter family. 90% of you responded with “buy one“….Which I appreciate. However, a few Gutter souls delivered. Congratulations to @Kimmiesee for her Yule Log salted caramel filling recipe.. so good so good(I used Cook’s Illustrated sponge cake recipe but used Kim’s filling). Also, congratulations to @jennybadger2 for her jellyrole recipe. Mark asked me to do one with jam and here it is. I will be making this one for Mark‘s 64th birthday on February 10- because LOVE.
Thank you everyone else for sending me their recipes. I will be definitely using @MarkLawson buttercream frosting and if I ever find white chocolate pudding mix, I will try @Mmmril Sandra Lee recipe.
