Christmas Log Cake is a sweet part of the festive celebration. Never mind that log cake has little significance in our tropical island, we have a surfeit of choice for Christmas log cake in Singapore. There are timeless classics as well as log cakes in exciting and unconventional flavours and more than a few uniquely Singaporean creations.
Yule Log Cake
The traditional Yule log cake (or bûche de Noël) is a rolled, filled sponge cake, frosted with chocolate buttercream to look like tree bark and with icing and other edible decorations.
According to History.com, there was an ancient Yule log tradition in Europe where families would burn decorated logs to welcome the winter solstice. Later, the practice was continued as part of the Christmas celebration. Families would burn a log on Christmas Eve, but smaller hearths became the norm so huge logs were impractical. Those small hearths, however, were perfect for baking cakes. Hence, log cake.
Log Cake in Singapore
The array of Christmas log cakes in Singapore is amazing. Hotels and bakeries try to tempt us with cakes that are not just delicious but look fantastic. New variations and flavours are introduced each festive season. Just like there are unique ice cream flavours and creative mooncake varieties in Singapore, there is no lack of interesting and innovative Christmas log cakes with local twists. Exciting flavours include Strawberry Champagne, Mango Passion Toffee and Truffle Chocolate. There will of course be Durian Log Cakes and Gula Melaka Bûche de Noël.
We list some of the mouthwatering Christmas Log Cakes available in Singapore this festive period. Online shopping for self-collection or delivery will be available in most instances. Advance orders will usually be necessary. There are also early bird offers and credit card promotion discounts.
