Bûche de Noël with Buttercream Frosting I actually make this cake a couple times a year and it is always a hit, especially with people who have never seen a homemade version. You'll get a lot of 'how did you do that?' The first time it was a little difficult to figure out, but I didn't have a jellyroll pan at the time. The next time I went out and bought one and it made it so much easier. All in all this is a very good recipe and if you make it once, people are going to ask you to make it again. . .if you don't want to use coffee for the cream in the middle, you can use 1tsp of vanilla, strawberry, or rum extract for a little different flavor.

Apple Streusel Cheesecake Bars This has become one of my favorite go-to recipes! I've made it with the apple, cherry, and blueberry filling and they were all excellent. The thing i love about the bars is that they are just as good hot or cold. . . A little tip, if you are using a more tart fruit filling like the cherry either add a 1/2 tsp of cinnamon to the cheesecake or a little more to the fruit. It helps cut the flavor a little bit.
