Desserts are an essential part of any festive dinner table and no other sweet treat is more evocative of the Christmas season than log cakes. Dessert chefs are known to be very competitive by rolling out highly creative pastries each year. It might still be quite early for Christmas but a few bakers in Singapore have already started rolling out their log cake selections for 2024.
This year, many establishments are consolidating their log cake offerings. For instance, I see fewer of the fancier/exotic flavors and many hotels have reverted to offering only their bestselling flavors. Many are also reducing the number of flavors in their repertoire to just 1 or 2 whereas they had offered 5 or more in past years.
Without further ado, here is the list for the year – I will update it as and when more brands come online with their offerings.

Baker’s Brew
Taste the quintessential embodiment of Christmas this year with log cakes from Baker’s Brew. This year’s flavor is the Blackforest Yule Log Cake (S$50.80 for 19cm cake / S$78.80 for 30cm cake). This glazed masterpiece features tangy cherry jelly and silky vanilla crémeux, all enveloped in a velvety-soft whipped ganache made with 54% dark chocolate. Adorned with chocolate croustillant and charming holiday toppers, it promises a delightful surprise when opened. The cakes are encased in a bubbly festive box and make for a great addition to the dessert table.

Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza
*EXCLUSIVE PROMO CODE* While many establishments are rationalizing their log cake offerings, Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza’s take-up remains robust and their repertoire for 2024 includes no less than 4 flavors. Top of the list is their bestselling Signature Chocolate Fudge Log Cake (S$55/80). The cake comes with a soft and pillowy chocolate sponge and silky mousse wrapped in a layer of luscious chocolate frosting. It is available in 2 sizes – 500 grams and 1kg, allowing for pocket-friendly options for those on a budget.
For fruity options, check out the Blueberry Yogurt Christmas Train (S$90). I have personally tried this cake and I love how the blueberry compote complements the cotton-like vanilla sponge and blueberry yogurt mousse. Alternatively, they are also offering the Pistachio Raspberry Rose Log Cake (S$90). Personally, I found this to be wonderful indulgence with its alternating layers of delicate pistachio sponge cake, vibrant raspberry confit, raspberry cremeux, and velvety mousse infused with subtle fragrance of rose. This is sure to be a hit with kids as well.

*Top Pick* Shangri-la Singapore continues to pull out all the stops with its Christmas offering for 2024, with perhaps what is the most complete type of Christmas desserts one can imagine – from log cakes to panettones, gingerbread houses and even holiday piñatas. Specific to log cakes, they are offering 3 types – the Grandma Chocolate Log Cake (S$90), Triple Truffle Crunchy Log Cake (S$90) and Snow White (S$88). The latter consists of smooth yogurt and white chocolate Opalys whip ganache, complemented by a crunchy granola croustillant and a tangy very berries cremeux. I have personally tried their log cakes this year and found the chocolate log cake to be a good choice for chocolate lovers. But for something different, I would recommend the Snow White!
