Looking for a twist on a traditional holiday dessert? As you know, the art of pastry design has achieved a new level of interest because of popular television shows like Cake Boss and Ace of Cakes. Philadelphia’s own Night Kitchen Bakery is experiencing a spike in business because viewers have become aware of the endless artistic possibilities. This awareness has created new challenges for Night Kitchen Bakery, maintaining traditions on the one hand and seeking new flavors and textures on the other.

Every year between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, Amy Edelman’s Bakery is busy filling orders around the clock for one of the bakery’s most popular items. The Yule log, also known as the Buche de Noel, is a traditional French holiday dessert. Traditionally created with a luscious home made whipped cream, rolled, iced with chocolate and decorated with fresh holly and candy canes, this year Edelman has fashioned a unique yule log flavored with orange and sprinkled with coconut. Miam! Edelman’s hands, as precise as a professional clockmaker, meticulously craft this holiday confection to perfection. We would like you to consider featuring Night Kitchen Bakery’s yule log in your holiday publication. We can either have one hand delivered to you or you can come to Chestnut Hill to meet the bakers and tour Night Kitchen’s intimate laboratory of confectionary delights.

Night Kitchen Bakery is located at 7725 Germantown Avenue. Orders must be placed 48 hours in advance. Check out the website at Nightkitchenbakery.com.
