Yes, Santa isn’t bad. He’s pretty high on my list, but my heart belongs here:
These are traditional Christmas cakes called Buche de Noel, shaped like little frosted logs.
These chocolate ones look even better to me. I especially like how they are decorated.
Love the red for Christmas. If I should have a party I will have to go buy one of these. Would you believe that I can’t remember where I saw these?
They look fantastic! We are getting a buche de Noel this year too
There’s a French bakery here in Rabat that does fresh ones. Not as many varieties, but no complaints!
Look at those cakes! Yum! I wonder how much they cost…
Aaaaaahhhhhhhh between your boulangerie photos and your Christmas foodie photos I am beside myself with envy! Thanks for sharing … drool, drool, sigh, sigh.
Linda, I fully agree with Carolyn. Lots of “envy, drool, and sigh”. They look fantastic. French pastries rule. Beautiful photos.
Making me hungry for Paris already when I’m stuck here in rural New Jersey, in a snowstorm, with no patisserie for 3,637 miles!
You are going to have to go back out and find those!
Have a party just for the two of you! I wouldn’t be able to resist.
Beautiful! Santa is cute, but those goodies look divine! Enjoy them!
All of them so pretty. I saw some in Atlanta this weekend. None in Nashville tho.
Linda,
Please pick up a couple dozen of the Buche Noels for me if you don’t mind. lol Absolutely gorgeous! I hope you and your family are having a warm, cozy festive holiday season!

I’m driving to Strasbourg on Tuesday to pick up my Buche de Noel. They are so lovely and so delicious. Those pictures are beautiful.
