    I'd like to comment that I love how your butter is almost never room temperature. Or, really, when any of your mistakes end up in a video. It makes me feel less anxious about potentially screwing up.

    I made this for my office dessert contest last year, including the mushrooms. I won first place and $100. Thank you Chef John.
    The buttercream was a little too sweet for me, so I substituted a lighter buttercream with Kahlua in it. The complementary coffee/chocolate combo was an instant hit. The three judges were unanimous. There were about 22 entries.
    One suggestion, it took me twice to do this. Practice with a prototype first and find some willing guinea pigs. The cake HAS to be spongy or it won't roll well.

    MY future son-in-law and I made your yule log on Christmas eve for Christmas. It turned out AWESOME!!!!! Beautiful and delicious! I even made the meringue mushrooms which were perfect right down to the dirt (cocoa) and I am not a baker at all. We didn't know each other very well so the cooking project was great and we now have a super shared memory.Unfortunately, just five of was ate the whole thing after a huge meal! The filling, the bark, the cake... all delightful... light and not too strong chocolate. Yummm.. wish I had another piece right now.
    Loved your instructions and sense of ease/humor!! Made it really simple. Now I can't wait to try another one of your entree recipes... or maybe many!! You may have changed us into cooks! Thank you so much for what you do, know and make available to others!

    We love Chef John! He saved Christmas! Our first attempt at a Yule log was a disaster and then we found this video and had absolute success! Not only are the instructions great, they are so funny. Thank you!

    I made this Yule Log for our Christmas Eve family party last month and holy goodness was it delicious!! It looks very complicated but was actually very simple to make with your step-by-step instructions. I left out the coffee since I don't like mocha flavored things and it was still so good! My family raved about it. Looks like I'll have to make it a tradition each Christmas. Thanks for sharing!

    Made this today. The chocolate sponge cake was soft, slightly sweet and never cracked! I chose to fill my Yule Log with vanilla stabilized whipped cream instead of buttercream. I did cover the outside with ganache like Chef John except I made mine with 1 part cream to 2 parts chocolate. DELICIOUS! I'm keeping this chocolate sponge recipe. Thank you!

      I think he has a meringue recipe. Make a meringue, pipe stalks, pipe hats, bake separate and attach with buttercream or maybe just by dampening the points of contact slightly

    Thanks for the recipe Chef John. I make this every year and it always goes down pretty well, but I swap the buttercream inside with a choc cream so it's a little softer/lighter texture (lighter she says...just not on the hips). I put Holly branches wth mine but like the rosemary idea and just love the meringue shrooms and the bed of ginger biscuit crumbs. Will def give that a go.
