How are you looking to celebrate the jolly season? Perhaps with a succulent turkey or other roasted delights, but how about Christmas sweet treats? Originally made with chocolate and filled with raspberry jam, traditional Yule Logs (Bûche de Noël) are significant treats during Christmas and have since evolved along the years, holding a range of creative varieties that are bound to impress everyone at the table. Here, we show you our favourite picks for 2017.
#1 Sunday Folks
Price: $80.25 (whole cake), $8.60 (small cake)
Yes, it’s Sunday Folks’ modern take on the traditional British festive cake this splendid season – where 55.5% dark chocolate couverture and Yuletide spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves are used. That’s not all, taste a good dose of Cointreau together with a triple sec with orange notes that complements the overall cocoa flavour, not forgetting the sweet dark cherries, juicy apricots, U.S. pecans, and dark chocolate droplets!

#2 Caffe Pralet
Price: $68
We loved the Oolong Raspberry Cake the last time we were at Caffe Pralet, and this Christmas season, a similar Oolong Raspberry Log Cake is delicately coated with a red velvety mirror glaze, gold dusted blueberries and gold painted dark chocolate. Bursting with 100% oolong tea and raspberry flavours, this fine piece of art is not to be missed!

#4 Grand Copthorne
Price: $62
So much of polar goodness from Grand Copthorne Waterfront! Look how that cute polar-looking thin slice of white chocolate won us over. Half-expecting rich waves of chocolatey flavours, what came out surprising was its blend of coconut and pineapple flavours. Well, we don’t know about you, but we felt this smoky charcoal-ish taste, which we must say is pretty interesting and refreshing?
From now till 14 Dec, enjoy an early bird promotion with 20% off log cakes so don’t forget about the well-deserved discounts!

#6 Marriott Cafe Hotel
Price: $68 (1kg)
New on its menu, Marriott has surprised us with an exquisite Coffee Praline Dulcey Yule Log. The log cake doesn’t come with very heavy coffee flavours, but it has certainly heightened up its overall taste, presenting a rich yet well-balanced mouthfeel. Also, not to forget the crispy praline that adds on a crunch to the dish!
