Daring Bakers 11: French Yule Log

This month's challenge is brought to us by the adventurous Hilda from Saffron and Blueberry and Marion from Il en Faut Peu Pour Etre Heureux.
They have chosen a French Yule Log by Flore from Florilege Gourmand

I have to be honest and say that when I first saw this month challenge I was scared - scared because it was a huge recipe with 6 elements (each with it's own choices) and scared because this gauntlet was laid down in the busiest month ever!!!! I really wasn't sure I'd have the time to complete it but was able to squeeze it in with a bit of a rush - mind you another problem was who I was going to feed it to and as usual the youth group at church ended up tucking into it.

French Yule Log
1) Dacquoise Biscuit - with orange flavouring
2) Mousse - Vanilla flavoured
3) Ganache Insert - Milk Chocolate
4) Praline (Crisp) Insert - I made it with the rice krispies
5) Creme Brulee Insert - Milk Chocolate Creme Brulee
6) Icing - Dark Chocolate


Unfortunately I've misplaced my camera which has all my photos of my French Yule Log - once I find it I'll add them. But until then you can see the rest of the Daring Bakers' results here. Or enjoy a pic of Marion's test log -
