Jean François is known for the artistry of his desserts. To decorate his Yule Log Cake, he pulled out all the stops, adorning it with marbled chocolate oranments, spun sugar ribbons and playful meringue mushrooms.

To begin assembling the final dessert, Jean François carefully transferred the iced cake to a marble slab. Occupying the corner of this edible sculpture was an exquisite chocolate Christmas tree, decorated with delicate gossamer threads of white chocolate and surrounded with intricate packages made of marzipan.
