Lemon Logs

Occasion:
New Years 2002

Theme:
Lemon

Flavor:
Lemon sponge cake

Cake details:
Two full size rolled lemon sponge cakes decorated with yellow sugar, and hand carved lemon peel. All designs on these were hand cut contiguous pieces of Meyer lemon peel. I personally prefer Meyer lemons for sweet applications. They have that wonderful tartness you want form a lemon, but are mild and have a nice natural sweetness to them. Rolling sponge cake by hand can be quite challenging. We used flour sack towels and managed to be very successful, only having one break out of the 4 cakes we rolled in the 2002 holiday season.
