| Place the jelly roll cake on the table. Be sure
it has been loosened completely from the baking paper. |
| Brush the syrup evenly across the cake. |
| Spread the ganache evenly from edge to edge. Roll
the sheet of filled cake into a roulade using the paper to help you
roll it. The paper then should be wrapped around the roulade and transferred
back to the pan to be stored in the freezer. |
| Unwrap the frozen log, at a slight angle - cut a
small amount from the ends to smooth it. Place it on a serving dish,
or cardboard square covered with foil. Cover the exposed areas of
the serving dish with wax paper to keep it clean. |
| Using a serrated knife - level a flat strip (about
an inch wide) down the top/center of the log. Brush the
exposed cake with the red apricot glaze. Place perfect red cherries
in a double row down the flat strip of the log. Make sure they are
tightly spaced together and in straight rows. Glaze them with several
coats of the red coating. Brush it into the sides of the cake as it
runs down. Chill cake. |
| Make the Bavarian cream filling - adding the Triple
Sec to the mixture just before the gelatin. Put it into a large plastic
pastry bag with the basket weave tip (#1D). |
| Dispense the Bavarian cream onto each side of the
log by taking three long passes with the basket weave tip. Squirt
the mousse on thick or even let it ripple as you squeeze it on. First,
start at the plate and draw a flat ribbon of mousse against the plate
and the log. a center pass down the middle, and a final pass along
the top - right up flat next to the glazed cherries. |
| Plug the ends of the log with a squirt of mousse
that is smoothed off evenly with a spatula. The spiral design is cocoa
that is stamped on by a spiral tool made out of bent coat hanger.
(See Equipment Menu) |
| Remove any covering paper from the plate or serving
tray. Decorate the top of the log in a seasonal manner. |
| Store chilled for the gelatin to set, can be frozen
until needed. |
| Alternate decoration themes could be used for Easter,
New Years, Birthdays, etc. |
