The Mighty Bûche...


The exterior is quilted...and therefore vaguely reminiscent of Chanel handbags and the kind of leather banquettes found in certain expensive restaurants...studded with edible silver balls, and affixed with a silver bow tie.

The interior is comprised of a center of creamy chestnuts, candied apple, and a confit of yuzu and lime...entombed in milk chocolate ganache and pecans.

The whole is the result of a festive collaboration between French designer Alexis Mabille (best known for his bow ties and couture creations) and Parisian restaurant Angelina (best known for its hot chocolate and gateaux).

The only bad thing about this particular piece of Yuletide joy is that it is only available from Angelina’s Rue du Rivoli tearoom from December 21-26. Oh, bugger...
