Christmas logs by the dozen. In this workshop which must supply five shops, the star of the day is the chocolate log with crispy praline and biscuit, the headliner of the house for 25 years. Each year in France, ten million liters of logs are sold, 76% of which in the last three weeks of December. “Until the 20th century, it’s more the works councils, all the people who cannot make Christmas together. […] The big one is done from 22, 23, “ confirms Stéphane Blettery, pastry chef at the Lac pastry shop.

On these logs, nothing is left to chance. These pastries represent 10% of the annual turnover, they are the result of several months of work. Improve the texture, find the right balance between the biscuit and the crisp. To obtain the perfect log, it was sometimes necessary to multiply the attempts. “All month long, we taste logs “, says a client. Thus each year, the Musso pastry shop sells 2,000 logs throughout the month of December.
