I need some advice on the yule log that I am making this year.
So there are a few components I know for sure that I am going to make which are :

1.almond genoise
2. chocolate hazelnut filling(nutella folded into fresh whipped cream)

Now, these are a few things/options that I am trying to decide on/between.

1. adding some orange zest to the almond genoise
2. plain toasted chopped hazelnuts, or chopped hazelnut praline that would go on top of the filling
3. Frosting the log with either chocolate or nutella ganache, or a chocolate or nutella swiss meringue buttercream
4. If I was to do one of the ganaches, should I make it a whipped ganache, or just "normal"

If anyone could give me some advice that would be awesome. I have way too many thoughts and ideas running through my head that I really need to narrow down, so I really need some advice on what route to take.

Thanks! It's much appreciated! :)
