The Promised Pictures

Here is the step-by-step process it took to complete the Yule Log. I have pictures of making the mushrooms, but uploading all the pictures is rather time consuming & I don't have the patience. But there are plenty of other pictures to look at since it was a multi-step, multi-recipe project.
