How to Make a chocolate yule log with Sandra Lee

In this Food video tutorial you will learn how to make a chocolate yule log with Sandra Lee. You will need a chocolate cream roll for this. Take some whip topping, put one teaspoon of vanilla and very gently stir it up. What the vanilla does is it cuts the packaged taste. Now spread this all over the cake and on the front and back; nice and thick. Clean off the edges and round them off like a log. Take a fork and drag it along the length of the log all around. With the knife, make spirals at the front and back of the log. These are akin to the natural rings on the ends of the log. Lightly dust the top of the cake with cocoa powder. Put a few conical chocolates on top to make them look like mushrooms and your Yule log is ready.
