Trust St. Regis KL to always dazzle with their creative Yule log cake creation, and this year, their Polar Bear Surprise Yule Log (RM205.66) does more than impress. The roll takes the shape of a perfectly-wrapped gift, cloaked in their signature scarlet hue, and here’s where the magic happens: ignite the edge of the Yule log to unveil a polar bear decor encased within, emerging dramatically from the “snow”.
Best of all, it is edible. Its body consists of a warmly spiced sponge, infused with mixed spices and bright citrus peel, and wrapped around a mischievous sea salt caramel center and lush 72% dark chocolate ganache. Crackly cocoa nibs croquant add to the texture of the dessert with their irresistible crunch.

For a classic pick, there’s also the Classic Hazelnut Yule Log (RM190.80) that looks every bit the epitome of festive elegance.

Embracing the nostalgic charm of Christmas treats and in their take on Yule log cakes is the beloved Kenny Hills Bakers, with the Classic Hazelnut Yule Log that’s perfect for Christmas at home. The sponge roulade boasts flavours of deep chocolate and comforting roasted nuttiness from the hazelnut, and is finished in a rustic chocolate buttercream textured to mimic the bark of a woodland log, and a gentle dusting of “snowy” icing sugar.
Delicate and wintery, the White Chocolate Berry Yule Log is a lighter option for those who want the charm of a very snowy Christmas on the table. Frosted in ivory-white chocolate cream with cheerful pops of berry compote, the vanilla sponge log cake has a homespun, storybook cosiness.

Perched along the log cake are whimsical chocolate mushrooms, pine trees, and gingerbread men sculptures, bringing the old-world classic of a Yule log cake to life.
