Christmas log cakes have moved well beyond the chocolate sponge-and-cream roll that used to appear on almost every festive table. Singapore’s 2026 selection includes everything from spiced apple and brown butter to pistachio kunafa, calamansi with caramel miso and elaborate French-style mousse cakes.
That variety is useful, but it also makes comparing them harder. A $60 log for four people is not directly comparable with a 1kg ice-cream cake or a $100 hotel creation, and a cake designed to impress at a dinner party may be completely wrong for a family gathering with six children.
For Christmas 2026, Cedele’s Spiced Apple Noël Log Cake is our best all-round pick, while The Fullerton Black Forest Yule Log is our choice for a classic hotel-style cake. Swensen’s remains particularly practical for families, and Pâtisserie CLÉ is one of the better options if you are feeding a smaller group.
Quick answer
The best Christmas log cake in Singapore for most people in 2026 is Cedele’s Spiced Apple Noël Log Cake, priced at $82 before promotions. It combines cinnamon-spiced apple, brown-butter chocolate ganache and cinnamon frosting, giving it a more distinctly Christmassy flavour profile than another standard chocolate log.
For something more traditional, choose The Fullerton Black Forest Yule Log. For children or ice-cream lovers, Swensen’s Merry Giftmas Log is an easier crowd-pleaser.
About this guide
This guide compares Christmas log cakes that have confirmed 2026 seasonal listings or ordering information in Singapore.
We looked at current prices, flavours, cake size or serving information where available, how distinctive each cake is, ordering convenience and who it is likely to suit. Seasonal promotions are mentioned where they materially affect value, but we have ranked the cakes on the underlying product rather than on a temporary discount alone.
We have not personally tasted every 2026 log cake listed here. Where our assessment is based on published ingredients, size, pricing and product information rather than first-hand tasting, we do not present it as a personal tasting note.
Prices and availability last checked: 27 October 2026.

1. Cedele Spiced Apple Noël Log Cake
Best for: A festive flavour that still feels broadly crowd-friendly
Current price: $82
Availability: Fulfilment from 28 October 2026
Cedele’s new Spiced Apple Noël is one of the more convincing departures from the standard chocolate log this Christmas. The centre is made with cinnamon-spiced apple, surrounded by brown-butter chocolate ganache and cinnamon frosting.
That combination is why it takes our top spot. Apple and cinnamon feel immediately seasonal, while the brown-butter chocolate keeps the cake familiar enough that you are not asking the entire table to take a gamble on dessert.
At $82, it also sits in a useful middle ground between mass-market Christmas cakes and the $100-plus hotel tier. Cedele’s early-bird offer gives members 20% off eligible Christmas specials from 14 to 31 October 2026. Its other returning log is the $78 Flourless Chocolate Logcake, which Cedele says has been part of its Christmas range for 29 years.
One thing to watch is delivery during Christmas week. From 22 to 27 December, delivery requires a minimum $180 order, while free delivery starts at $260. If you are only buying the cake, collection is likely to make more sense.
Editor’s Verdict
This is our best all-rounder for 2026. It is different enough to feel special without becoming overly experimental, and $82 is reasonable beside many hotel logs. Choose Cedele if you want a cake that actually tastes conceptually connected to Christmas rather than simply looking like it.
2. The Fullerton Black Forest Yule Log
Best for: A polished, traditional hotel Christmas cake
Current price: $88 regular price; $66 during the current festive promotion
Size: 900g
Contains alcohol: Yes
The Fullerton’s annual bestseller combines Morello sour-cherry compote, Guanaja chocolate cremeux and bitter dark-chocolate chiffon, with liquor-soaked cherries bringing the Black Forest element together.
It is one of the more conventional cakes in this guide, but that is not a criticism. Christmas dinner is often not the best moment to discover that half your guests have surprisingly strong opinions about miso in dessert.
The balance of tart cherries and darker chocolate should also help it feel less relentlessly sweet than some festive cakes. At 900g, it is substantial enough for a proper gathering without becoming an enormous catering-sized dessert.
The standard price is $88, although Fullerton’s current festive promotion reduces eligible festive items by 25% between 19 October and 20 November, followed by 20% from 21 November to 23 December. Collection and delivery run from 20 November to 27 December, and orders need at least four days’ notice.
Fullerton also has a Pistachio & Raspberry Yule Log at the same $88 regular price if you would prefer something fruitier and less traditional.
Editor’s Verdict
Choose Fullerton when you want a recognisably luxurious Christmas cake without an especially challenging flavour combination. The alcohol means it is less suitable as the sole dessert at a child-heavy gathering, but for an adult Christmas dinner this is one of the safest premium choices.
3. Swensen’s Merry Giftmas Log
Best for: Families, children and ice-cream lovers
Current price: $66
Size: 1kg
Swensen’s remains difficult to beat if your household would rather have ice cream than mousse.
The 1kg Merry Giftmas Log uses the brand’s Sticky Chewy Chocolate ice cream over a chocolate-ganache crumble base and costs $66. Swensen’s describes it as a perennial bestseller, and it is easy to see why: it is straightforward, substantial and considerably cheaper than many hotel options.
There is also much more choice than just chocolate. The $66 Swensen’s Special Log combines strawberry, vanilla and Chocoholic ice creams; the Merry Mochi Unicorn Log uses cotton-candy ice cream with mini mochi; and the Sticky Chewy Chocolate Zer0 Log has zero added sugar and is listed at 100 calories per slice.
Small households should also note the Nice Chewy Log. At 350g and $26, it is one of the few Christmas logs that does not assume you are feeding an extended family.
Editor’s Verdict
Swensen’s is our family pick. It offers the best combination of price, size and flavours that children are actually likely to eat. The only real logistical downside is obvious but worth remembering: a 1kg ice-cream cake requires freezer space, which can become surprisingly scarce on Christmas Eve.
4. Pâtisserie CLÉ Hazelnut Praline Log Cake
Best for: Small gatherings and French-style pastry
Current price: $60 for 4–5 people; $105 for 8–10 people
Availability: Collection and delivery from 1 to 31 December
Pâtisserie CLÉ offers something unusually practical: a premium Christmas log in a size designed for four or five people.
The smaller 4.5-inch cake costs $60, while the 9-inch version serves around eight to ten and costs $105. Both use vanilla mousse, chocolate-and-hazelnut ganache, chocolate sponge and a crunchy praline base.
The combination is familiar, but the structure is more contemporary than a traditional rolled sponge. The praline base also gives the cake a textural element that should stop the mousse and ganache from becoming too one-note.
Pâtisserie CLÉ’s published Christmas early-bird period runs from 1 to 30 November, with a 10% discount automatically applied at checkout. Free delivery applies above $150.
At the time of checking in late October, the Christmas product was still marked unavailable, consistent with the collection’s November ordering window.
Editor’s Verdict
This is the one we would shortlist first for four or five people. You are not paying for a large cake that spends the rest of Christmas week in the refrigerator, and hazelnut, chocolate and praline are sophisticated without being divisive.
5. Crowne Plaza Changi Airport Moonlit Forest Kunafa Yule Log
Best for: Pistachio and kunafa fans
Current price: $98
Size: 1kg
Pistachio kunafa has now made the journey from viral chocolate bars to Christmas log cake.
Crowne Plaza Changi Airport’s Moonlit Forest Kunafa Yule Log starts with a Biscoff-pistachio bark base, followed by crunchy pistachio kunafa, white and dark chocolate pudding and Biscoff crumble. The cake weighs 1kg and costs $98.
There are a lot of competing elements here. That makes this the wrong cake for someone looking for a subtle end to a heavy Christmas meal, but exactly the right direction if pistachio, crunchy pastry and chocolate are what your group normally gravitates towards.
Orders require at least three days’ notice and the festive range is listed for ordering through 30 December 2026.
Editor’s Verdict
One of the most distinctive cakes in this year’s selection, but also one of the easiest to divide a table. Buy it because your group actively loves pistachio-kunafa desserts, not simply because they happen to be fashionable this year.
6. Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium Calamansi & Caramel Miso Log Cake
Best for: Something genuinely different
Current price: $98
Size: 1kg
Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium has two log cakes for Christmas 2026, but the Calamansi & Caramel Miso Log Cake is easily the more interesting of the pair.
The 1kg cake costs $98, the same price as the hotel’s returning Enchanted Forest Chocolate Log Cake. Holiday Inn has also incorporated the calamansi-miso cake into its larger Japanese Miso Christmas Bundle, suggesting the flavour is designed to sit alongside the hotel’s more Asian-influenced festive menu.
Calamansi makes sense in a rich dessert because of its sharper citrus acidity. Caramel and miso should bring sweetness, salt and depth. On paper, at least, this is a more considered combination than adding an unusual ingredient merely so the menu sounds inventive.
There is currently 20% off Christmas takeaway items until 9 December 2026, which brings a $98 cake to $78.40 if the promotion applies at checkout. Orders require at least three days’ notice, with collection from 1 December 2026 to 2 January 2027. The hotel states that its takeaway items are not Halal-certified.
Editor’s Verdict
This is the cake for a table that has had enough conventional chocolate logs. Calamansi and miso make it the most adventurous flavour combination here, but there is still enough caramel in the equation to keep it grounded in dessert territory.
7. Bob the Baker Boy Midnight Belgian Chocolate Log Cake
Best for: Straightforward chocolate
Current price: From $69.95
After pistachio kunafa and caramel miso, there is something reassuring about a Christmas cake whose main proposition is simply Belgian chocolate.
Bob the Baker Boy’s Midnight Belgian Chocolate Log Cake starts at $69.95 and is the bakery’s principal log cake for Christmas 2026. It sits alongside the brand’s Christmas Brownie Trees, festive cupcakes, cookies and Chocolate Wreath Bundt Cake.
That broader range also makes Bob particularly useful for office gatherings or larger parties where one cake may not be enough and you would rather order the rest of the dessert table from the same bakery.
Free delivery is currently offered for orders above $150.
Editor’s Verdict
Not everything needs a twist. Choose Bob if what you actually want is a chocolate Christmas log cake, particularly if you are also ordering cupcakes, brownies or smaller desserts for a crowd. It is one of the more accessible options here without moving into supermarket territory.
8. Janice Wong Winter Globe Yule Log
Best for: Gifting and presentation
Current price: $118
Janice Wong’s Winter Globe Yule Log is the most expensive standalone cake in this guide at $118.
It sits within the brand’s 2026 Art of Christmas collection alongside the $88 Crystal Flake Chestnut Gateau, $95 Christmas Wreath and $95 Santa Pom Pom.
Unlike several of the other bakeries here, however, the current online collection page gives relatively little useful information about the Winter Globe’s internal flavour composition or serving size. We would therefore check those details before purchasing if the flavour itself matters more to you than the presentation.
What Janice Wong does have is a very recognisable design-led identity. This is the option that makes most sense when the cake is also functioning as a gift, dinner-table centrepiece or something you want to bring to a host.
Editor’s Verdict
At $118, this is a presentation-first choice rather than our value pick. We would consider it for gifting or a more formal dinner, but for a straightforward family Christmas we think Cedele, Fullerton or Pâtisserie CLÉ offer a clearer value proposition.
How much should you spend on a Christmas log cake in Singapore?
For 2026, around $60 to $100 is the realistic sweet spot for a good bakery or hotel log cake.
At the lower end, Pâtisserie CLÉ starts at $60 for a smaller cake serving four to five people, while Swensen’s 1kg logs cost $66. Cedele sits around $78 to $82, and Fullerton’s logs are $88 before promotions. More elaborate or design-led options generally approach or exceed $100.
The more useful comparison is cost per gathering rather than just cake price. A $60 cake feeding four people is not inherently better value than a $66 cake weighing 1kg.
Which type of log cake should you choose?
For a large mixed-age family gathering, we would prioritise familiar flavours and easy portioning. Swensen’s works especially well if there are children, while Cedele’s apple-and-cinnamon combination should still appeal to a fairly broad crowd.
For a smaller adult dinner, Pâtisserie CLÉ or Fullerton make more sense. If your guests are enthusiastic about contemporary pastry flavours, Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn offer far more interesting options.
And if somebody at the table has been sending you pistachio-kunafa TikToks for the past twelve months, your decision may already have been made for you.
When should you order a Christmas log cake in Singapore?
Order in November or early December if you care about getting a particular cake or delivery slot.
There is an additional reason to order early this year: many bakeries and hotels have early-bird discounts. Cedele’s current 20% promotion runs through 31 October, Fullerton offers 25% off eligible festive items until 20 November, Pâtisserie CLÉ has a November early-bird period, and Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium offers 20% off Christmas takeaway items until 9 December.
Christmas Eve is not an especially rewarding time to discover that your first three choices are sold out.

What is a good log cake for a small Christmas gathering?
Pâtisserie CLÉ’s 4.5-inch Hazelnut Praline Log Cake is specifically sized for around four to five people and costs $60. Swensen’s also sells a much smaller 350g Nice Chewy Log for $26.
Are there Christmas log cakes without gluten?

Which Christmas log cake contains alcohol?
The Fullerton Black Forest Yule Log contains alcohol and uses liquor-soaked Morello cherries.
How far in advance should I order a log cake?

Fullerton requires at least four days’ notice, while Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium require at least three.
Final verdict
For most households, our pick is Cedele’s Spiced Apple Noël Log Cake. At $82, it is not the cheapest cake here, but the combination of apple, cinnamon and brown-butter chocolate feels appropriately festive without becoming difficult to serve to a mixed crowd.
If you want something more traditional and polished, choose The Fullerton Black Forest Yule Log. Swensen’s remains the easy family choice, particularly where children are involved, while Pâtisserie CLÉ is arguably the most practical premium option for a small group.
For something more adventurous, it comes down to your preferred direction: Crowne Plaza for pistachio kunafa or Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium for calamansi and caramel miso.
The useful question is not really which is objectively the best Christmas log cake in Singapore. It is which cake makes sense for the people actually sitting around your Christmas table.
