Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups sugar 🍚
• 1 1/2 cups water 💧
• 5 tablespoons butter 🧈
• 6 egg yolks 🥚
• 2 1/4 teaspoons liqueur 🍹
• 4 1/2 cups butter 🧈
• 4 1/2 tablespoons orange juice concentrate 🍊
• Chocolate for mixing 🍫

Instructions:

1. Boiling Bliss: Begin by bringing 1 1/2 cups of sugar and 1 1/2 cups of water to a delightful boil in a heavy saucepan, stirring until the sugar dissolves. 🍬

2. Temperature Tango: Continue this culinary symphony, allowing the mixture to boil without stirring until the thermometer graciously registers 240F, reaching the soft ball stage. Meanwhile, beat 6 egg yolks until they dance with thickness. 🕰️

3. Liqueur Elegance: Add 2 1/4 teaspoons of your preferred liqueur to the beaten yolks, and gradually introduce the hot syrup, beating all the while, until cool – approximately 5 minutes of rhythmic bliss. 🍹

4. Buttery Ballet: In a graceful sequence, add 4 1/2 cups of butter, 3 tablespoons at a time, beating after each addition. This dance of flavors is the foundation of our luscious buttercream. 💃

5. Orange Embrace: Mix in the orange juice concentrate with finesse, creating a citrusy harmony within the buttery ensemble. 🍊

6. Choco-Magic: Now, let’s embark on a chocolate journey. Transfer 3 1/4 cups of the buttercream to a small bowl and introduce chocolate, letting the two intertwine in a delicious dance. 🍫

7. Cake Canvas: Place your cake onto a sheet of plastic wrap and gracefully remove the paper, revealing a blank canvas for our flavorful creation. 🎨

8. Orange Elegance: Spread the orange buttercream over the cake, leaving a 1-inch border on one long side. Sprinkle with macadamias for a delightful crunch. 🌰

9. Rolling Symphony: Roll up the cake jelly-roll style, starting with the long side and rolling towards the side with the uncovered border. Trim to make the ends even for a polished finish. 🎶

10. Stump Sculpture: Cut 2 inches off each end of the roll at a 45-degree angle. Arrange the roll on a platter, creating a whimsical tree stump effect. Spread chocolate buttercream on the cut ends of the 2-inch pieces. 🌳

11. Stump Ensemble: With the chocolate buttercream touching the cake, place one piece atop the cake off-center and the second on one long side to resemble charming tree stumps. 🌲

12. Pastry Artistry: Transfer 1 cup of chocolate buttercream to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/4 inch plain tip, ready for the artistic touch. 🎨

13. Buttercream Finale: Spread the remaining buttercream over the entire cake. Pipe buttercream in spirals over the ends of the buche and stumps, starting at the center of each. 🌀

14. Bark Illusion: Run fork tines through the buttercream to create a visually stunning bark-like texture, adding an artistic touch to your creation. 🌳

15. Festive Flourish: Finally, arrange holly and cranberries decoratively on the buche, garnishing with Meringue Mushrooms right before serving for a festive and delightful finish. 🍄🌿
