Cake Roll Recipes. Or Yule Log, Jelly Roll…whatever you call it I love them. I love them so much I can’t stop making them for all of you! If you love a good cake roll or want to try your hand at making one for Christmas, here are over 30 recipes to choose from!
I’ll admit it: I’m Crazy for Cake Rolls. I was petrified before making my first one (the Turtle Cake Roll, below) and I was shocked at how easy it was. For years I’d been scared to try my hand at these delicious Cake Roll Recipes because they just looked too darn pretty to be able to make.
I was wrong. And if you think the way I did, so are you! 🙂
There are so many ways to make a cake roll. The flavor combinations are endless and I love them because the cake to filing ration is pretty even and they make enough for a party instead of a crowd. And? They’re gorgeous. Check out all of my personal cake roll recipes!

Thanks dear to share …
I am having a problem with it cracking, what am I doing wrong?
There are so many reasons a cake roll can crack. If the eggs aren’t beaten enough, if it’s under or over done. When it’s done it should spring back when you touch it. There are so many reasons why recipes crack (I have a recipe I use all the time and sometimes it cracks, other times it doesn’t). When it cracks I paste it together and then frost it!
Question … do these have to be refrigerated? I want something unique to make for a cake walk.
It depends on the filling. Buttercream or ganache, no, whipped cream yes.
I made my first one last year and I’m 68. I want to make every one of these. Don’t tell anyone how easy they are to make
Right? They’re so easy and no one thinks they are!!
