Ok, I didn't have the self raising flour so I used plain with baking powder. And I didn't have icing sugar so I blitzed some ordinary sugar. I didn't photograph it before I decorated it as it looked as though it should be in the bathroom - if you get my drift. It doesn't look much better decorated as it has a shiny, lumpy quality that didn't get any better with knife smoothing. Putting it on a wooden platter may have helped the composition of the shot but I'm not convinced. Under the suspect icing is a homemade Swiss roll. (I didn't have greaseproof paper which didn't help the rolling up after it had baked!)
Anyhow - Happy Yule Log Day to all.
PS DH thought it was delicious. Phew, saved.
Stay safe.

PPS Look here for the first one I made. It didn't look any better then!
I'm very much of the opinion that cake is cake, if it's offered I'll eat it! Glad DH enjoyed it.

ReplyDeleteIt's the taste that counts.
ReplyDeleteI think you are very brave to have attempted a Swiss Roll. I think it is perfect.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Perhaps some additional snowfall (a dusting of icing sugar). It's delicious, so that's what matters. X
