Release cycle theme: Sweet treats

Did you know that the Yule log dates back to an old Norse tradition where a symbolic log would be lit in celebration of the Winter Solstice? Over the years, this tradition spread to various countries and cultures, with each adding their own customs and beliefs to its lore (it's unlucky if the flame goes out and has to be re-lit, the burnt remains of the log should be placed under your bed for luck, and so on).

Then, in the 19th century, France sized up this whole Yule log situation and concluded that what this tradition really needed to take it to the next level was to make it 100% more edible. And voila! The Yule log cake was born (Note - descriptions of historical events may not be entirely accurate).

And it's quite genius, really. I mean, who wants to spend their Christmas vacation getting their hands all dirty and splintered making sure their Yule log keeps burning, only to shove its smelly burnt-out shell under their bed afterwards (..."for luck")? Instead, you could just get a cake replica of a Yule log and take a moment to admire the beauty of its bark-like icing and powdered-sugar snow before shoving it all in your mouth in sweet celebration. No need for luck, that's just being smart.
