Singapore’s renowned patisseries and esteemed hotels have outdone themselves, presenting Logcakes that are not just a treat for the palate but a feast for the eyes.
From traditional flavors to innovative twists, these Logcakes symbolize the joyous spirit of the season, blending exquisite taste with impeccable presentation.
Whether you are a fan of classic yule logs, adventurous in your taste, or simply seeking the warmth of seasonal sweetness, check out the following Logcakes for some of Singapore’s finest festive treats:
LUNA Patisserie – Spectaculoos Surprise Log Cake
LUNA Patisserie has truly outdone itself this festive season with its Christmas collection, especially the Spectaculoos Surprise Log Cake ($88 DFD special price, U.P $98).
Its exterior is sleek and elegant, hinting at the surprise that awaits within.
Imagine my surprise when slicing it apart. It reveals a beautiful flower-shaped core of peach curd, nestled within layers of speculoos milk chocolate mousse, speculoos chiffon sponge, and blood peach cream – all resting on a base of speculoos crumble.
The cake is adorned with white chocolate snowflakes and a velvety snow-white chocolate spray, adding to its festive charm.
The combination of speculoos and peach might seem unusual at first, but it works wonderfully. The fruity sweetness of the peach (they use two types of peaches) balances the richness.
LUNA Patisserie also offers the Merry Medley Christmas Cakes ($58).
From the Genmaicha Yuzu Tree to the Hazelnut Fig Stump, Banana Milk Chocolate Star, and Cherry Dark Chocolate Present, each cake promises a unique taste experience.

Among these, the Charming Chestnut Coco Log Cake ($42, $69) stands out as a delightful newcomer.
A tropical spin on the traditional yule log, you would find that it combines the earthy richness of French chestnuts with a moist, tender coconut cake.
The crunch of almond praline and the sweetness of candied chestnuts add layers of texture, making each slice a joy to have.
It is also a fun cake to have – adorned with edible chocolate to decorate and ‘personalise’ it any way you want.
Another exciting offering is the “Nuts Over You” Chocolate Log Cake ($42, $69), which dives into the indulgent world of French chocolate ganache, encased in a sponge and enrobed with milk chocolate and chopped hazelnuts.

The addition of crunchy nougat chips adds texture, and the dark chocolate coating wraps the cake in a shell of indulgence.

The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore – Chocolate Yule Log Cake
The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore has indeed outdone itself with its festive goodies this year.
The Chocolate Yule Log Cake ($98 for 1.3kg roll) is a sizable treat great for sharing. The chocolate roulade, paired with the tartness of blueberry preserve and the rich, luxurious dark chocolate ganache, offers a complex taste.
What I liked was the addition of Andraschko coffee which brings that aromatic depth. A drizzle of salted caramel on top adds a final, irresistible touch to this beautiful cake.
Then there’s the White Mistletoe Cake ($98), a newcomer which combines the tartness of Morello Cherry with the sweetness of candied citrus and golden raisins. It is artfully frosted with cream cheese and an ivory Magnum glaze.
For those who favour traditional holiday flavours, the Plantation 1840 Rum Fruit Cake ($68) is infused with the Plantation 1840 cocktail – a signature from The Bar at 15 Stamford.
It incorporates a boozy kick that marries well with the sweet, dense fruit cake for festive indulgence.

Cedele – My Black Cabin Log House
Cedele has outdone itself this year with three distinct Logcake flavours.
First, there’s the Peppermint Flourless Chocolate Log Cake ($68), a gluten-free delight made with a rich blend of a 26-year-old chocolate, organic sugar, and fine European butter.
This is all wrapped up in a refreshing peppermint mousse and covered with a smooth chocolate ganache.
Following that, we have the Strawberry Tiramisu Champagne Log Cake ($78) which spells elegance in every bite. This cake boasts champagne-soaked layers combined with fresh strawberries and a rich dark chocolate mousse.
It is the My Black Cabin Log House ($88) that deserves the special mention (order this online).
This masterpiece consists of three layers of red velvet sponge cake. The pistachio cream and Italian meringue caramel cream blend harmoniously, with chopped almonds giving it a rustic feel.
What truly makes it stand out is the rich chocolate ganache and raspberry buttercream decoration. To top it off, fresh berries on the side not only enhance its appearance but also add a burst of freshness, making it the wonderful festive centerpiece.
