We had our first Colorado “snow day” the other week and I’m not sure who was more excited, my son or myself? If you’re not familiar with the term, a “snow day” is declared when school or work is cancelled due to poor road conditions. No schleping back and forth to school, no after-school activities, no getting the baby in and out of her car seat a dozen times; a perfect excuse to stay home, bake and play in the snow.
Despite the fact I spent my college years in Vermont, neither school nor work had ever been cancelled due to snow. Vermonters are tough as nails, if you can’t drive to work, then you better strap your snow shoes on and huff it. They’re used to massive snowfall and handle business like a boss, clearing roads quickly. Colorado on the other hand, mmm not so much. It appears Colorodans simply wait three days until it warms up and the snow melts. Why use snow plows if you don’t have to?
Whether you live somewhere warm year round (ahh, memories) or you live in a four season state, it’s my new belief everyone needs a “snow day, lay low day.” A day to just be, cozy-up and press the reset button. If you’re like me, it’s also the perfect time to bake something special and this sweet dessert is simply perfect for these cold winter months.
A fresh take on the traditional yule log cake, this Hostess cupcake impersonator is sure to please. Typically served at Christmas time, yule logs, or jelly roll cakes, are delicious year round. If you have ever attempted making a jelly roll, you may have had it crumble on you when it came time to roll. With a few helpful tips, this recipe will restore your confidence and bestow you with one heck of a dessert you can take to your next gathering.
Enjoy!
