1/4 c water
1 T Lemon juice
2 Egg white
1/4 c Cream of tartar

INSTRUCTIONS

Grease a jelly roll baking sheet.  Line with parchment paper. Grease
the parchment paper.  Sift dry ingredients together. Beat eggs at  high
speed about 5 to 10 minutes. Add sugar by tablespoonfuls.  Continue
beating until the butter is very thick. Then add lemon juice  and
water. Fold in dry ingredients in four stages, 1/4 cup at a time.
Spread evenly on the baking sheet.  Bake at 375 F. for 15 minutes or
until the sponge springs back when tested.  Sift powdered sugar onto
the sponge. Turn cake out onto a clean tea towel. Remove parchment
paper. Trim edges of the sponge if they are crispy.  Roll up gently,
leaving towel inside, while still warm. Let cool.  Beat egg whites, and
when foamy add the cream of tartar. When soft  peaks form, gradually
beat in the sugar. Beat until meringue is stiff  and glossy. Pipe
meringue through a pastry bag, making and equal  number of stems and
caps to resemble small mushrooms.  Bake mushroom  pieces at 250 F.
about 45 minutes.  When cool, glue them together  with butter cream
icing and dust lightly with cocoa in a fine  strainer. Beat egg yolks
and butter together until smooth.  Add  coffee and milk. Gradually add
powdered sugar. Beat until smooth. Mix  about 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup of the
frosting with green food coloring for  the ivy decoration.  To
assemble:  Unroll cooled sponge, remove towel, spread, cake with
butter cream icing. Roll up.  Cut off at a diagonal, a 2" slice. This
is the tree stump. Frost the outside, then add the stump and frost.
Make ivy patterns. Add the mushrooms.  Dust the whole cake very
lightly with powdered sugar, to simulate snow. Keep in refrigerator.
