Now we're going to cheat a bit here and buy a premade yule log from Tesco but that's probably a safer idea than me making one myself.
Icing (makes 8, you will probably need two batches):
-2 tablespoons of cocoa powder (we used Cadbury's Bourneville)
-1 tablespoon of butter
-6oz/ 175g of icing sugar
-2 tablespoons of hot water
To make:
-Sift the icing sugar and cocoa powder into a bowl
-Make a well in the icing sugar and cocoa powder and put in the butter and the hot water
-Beat together using a wooden spoon until spreadable
-Using a knife, spread the butter icing on the log, a messier style gives the impression of an actual log but you can also use a fork to make lines down the log
-Leave to set on a flat surface (not the fridge)
To make the base:
-Simply cover a coping board in foil and then dust lightly with icing sugar to give a snowy effect
