365days2playHere’s a list of pretty or unique Christmas log cakes I have come across this year, as well as one that is just over $30! Hopefully this list helps you decide on the best log cake to buy for your party or as gifts for loved ones/friends. Oh do take part in the log cake giveaway, details below! And read all my Christmas recommendations here.
Merry Christmas everyone, enjoy the festive season!
Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel
The Peanut Butter Speculoos Praline Log Cake (1kg, $68nett) boasts just the right proportions of peanut butter-infused frosting, moreish speculoos crumble, crunchy feuilletine and luscious chocolate sponge. This will probably please those who always complain that log-cakes are too sweet. Did you know that the savoury-sweet speculoos is a caramelised shortcrust biscuit traditionally enjoyed at Christmastime in parts of Europe such as Belgium and the Netherlands? If you’re not flying to Europe this Christmas, then maybe this Log Cake will help you feel better.

Okay this one I have to admit really is quite unique, and I’m saying this after having seen tons of log cakes this year.

Gokoku
Gokoku’s logcakes may be quite common flavours : they offer Uji Matcha, Strawberry or Decadent Chocolate log cakes. However these are the cheapest log cakes I have come across, at $32.90 each. Despite the pricing, they still look festive and taste good. I tried the Strawberry flavoured cake and I must say I am impressed with the light and airy sponge. Had two pieces in one sitting!
And yes, I am having a GIVEAWAY on my Instagram. Head on over to my Instagram account to win for yourselves a Uji Matcha Log Cake! Simple as that!

Fullerton Hotel
The Ondeh Ondeh Lamington Yule Logs showcases the well-loved trinity of flavours — Gula Melaka, pandan and coconut —with Gula Melaka mousse and coconut crí¨me with shredded coconut layered between pandan chiffon sponge cake. There is also the Strawberry Lychee Bandung Yule Log, an elegant twist on another local favourite, the Bandung drink. Here, raspberry chiffon sponge cake is paired with delicate lychee mousse and strawberry jelly gently infused with rose essence. I haven’t managed to try this, but as a Bandung drink lover, this sounds pretty enticing!
