3rd Christmas Baking - Christmas Log Cake



I know it is only 5th December, friends were laughing at me when I kept posting my Christmas baking. 
I told them it would be a "completely no kitchen" once I touch Malaysia.  I don't want to spend my time in the kitchen but will definitely cook or bake some for my parents.   My dad and mum used to cook me every meals, even now too, when mum was not around dad will volunteer to do the cooking. I felt shameful seeing parents  prepare meals for me whilst I cook for others. 

Okie, back to my 3rd Christmas baking... Christmas Log Cake.
I always thought it is impossible for me to bake a Christmas Log cake until I saw this recipe.
Oh, it is actually pretty simple, if you know how to bake a swiss roll, then you are almost there. 
Decoration for the tree bark ! Haha  easy, you wouldn't have to be a very creative person, but a fork do the rest for you.  You serious ? YES!
