1. Golden delicious apple tarte tatin log cake

The classic French dessert, apple tarte tatin, has been reimagined as a festive treat by the chefs of Dolcetto. Now, the sweet and caramelised apples have been carefully wrapped around a dense sponge, and set atop a crisp pastry base for extra crunch.

4. Tropical coconut mousse with calypso mango yule log

For something lighter and more refreshing, opt for pastry chef Audrey Yee’s tropical version of the yule log. The light and ethereal sponge is coated with a delicious and slightly milky coconut mousse, and at its core is a saccharine calypso mango puree.

5. Mao shan wang and gula melaka log cake

This interpretation of the holiday treat has been given a local twist. Hidden within the airy sponge is a delightful and potent durian filling, balanced with the sugary sweetness of the gula melaka cream.
