Holiday cheer for one. I am smitten with Ceci-Cela's single serving Bûche de Noël ($6), in a trio of flavors: Chocolate, Strawberry and Grand Marnier. Bûche de Noëls are also sold in full-sized logs, but why have just a slice when you can have a whole cake, with none of the sugar high? The chocolate is my favorite—light milk chocolate cream rolled between layers of chocolate sponge cake, and finished off in more cream and festive decorations. Sadly, it leaves off the mini meringue mushrooms—that would take cake cuteness to yet unimaginable levels.
