Place the jellyroll cake on the table. Be sure
it has been loosened completely from the baking paper. |
Brush the syrup evenly across the cake |
Make the Bavarian cream. Add the Kirsch to the pastry
cream before the gelatin. Spread the Bavarian evenly from edge to
edge. Sprinkle the well drained cherries evenly across the filling.
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. |
Chilled bowl and whip. Whip the cream and dispense
the Whipped cream onto each side of the log by taking three long passes
with the (#1D) basket weave tip. Squirt the whipped cream on thick
or even let it ripple as you squeeze it on. First, start at the plate
and draw a flat ribbon of cream against the plate and the log. Another
pass down the side, and a third pass above it. When both sides are
covered then make the right number of passes to hide the top. |
Plug the ends of the log with a squirt of whipped
cream 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) |
This log is a New Years 2001 Log.!! and is decorated
with 3 ounces of shredded white chocolate, chocolate treats and Santa
heads. Shred the chocolate through a cheese grater onto a clean surface,
then transfer the grated chocolate to the top of the log with the
edge of a spatula. Best results will be achieved if the chocolate
is at room temperature. |
Remove any covering paper from the plate or serving
tray. Decorate the top of the log in a seasonal manner. |
Store chilled, can be frozen until needed. |
Alternate decoration themes could be used for Easter,
Christmas, Birthdays, etc. |
