In France, the cake is also referred to as a gateau de noel or gataeu roulé. The new, gastronomic tradition caught on in spectacular fashion, and the Christmas dessert is now celebrated worldwide. Literally translated, the name of this recipe means "yule log." This traditional French Christmas cake is shaped and decorated to resemble a wooden log and often garnished with meringue "mushrooms" or "moss" made from chopped pistachio nuts. It may look impressive but making a roulade or jelly roll is easy if you follow the steps. This beautifully decorated cake is one of the first Christmas recipes I found in a box of my mother old recipe boxes.
