Last year I made a very strange looking Christmas log, I kind of went decoration random on it.

This year, I wanted to make a roll cake that was going to look very simple but taste great Also, I wanted to make one with no frosting. I kept it very minimalistic, the only decorations are the mushroom meringues and the powdered sugar.

The mascarpone frosting in this is divine! I was not sure what to expect since I had never tried mascarpone before. In my opinion the taste is a mix between whipped cream, cream cheese and butter. If you can't find mascarpone, you can always substitute with cream cheese, the consistency is very similar.

I used this stock for the bokeh, my camera is not capable of creating bokeh on it's own
