InterContinental Singapore
InterContinental Singapore invites you to celebrate Christmas with childlike wonder and excitement. This year’s new flavour, the Rocking Horse Yule Log ($68), is playfully adorned with chocolate rocking horse cutouts, while Irish coffee-flavoured mousseline puts an adult spin on the other components of hazelnut sponge, homemade orange confit and sea salt caramel. Memories of childhood ($70) takes you back to the good old days sans that sugar high – sugar-free chocolate mousse fuses elegantly with vanilla pear compote, passion fruit jelly, and cacao crumble. The pastry team has also up the game with their chocolate creations – check out the chocolate cutout of two little kids playing on a see-saw atop the log cake.

Simple Indulgence Patisserie
This tiny patisserie by baker Christine Ng is presenting a new low GI flourless Valrhona dark chocolate log ($86) made with 100% organic low GI sugar and rich chocolate sponge. There’s also the light and moist Japanese yuzu white chocolate chiffon log cake, brightened with Japanese yuzu zest, and frosted with a creamy yuzu-infused white chocolate ganache. They may look like typical Swiss rolls but thanks to the natural ingredients used, the flavours stand out from many other mass-produced cakes.
