Trendy Yule logs for 2025 & original creations

No doubt about it: our selection of trendy Christmas logs for 2025 lives up to previous years!

In terms of flavors, for Christmas 2025 , the chocolate yule log remains the undisputed champion and is offered by all pastry chefs, despite the rising price of cocoa. Yule logs with seasonal fruits , red berries, or exotic fruits are also still very popular. And rice pudding has made its debut with many chefs this year: perhaps a desire to return to childhood, cooking at Grandma's?

In terms of design, traditional U-shaped or semi-circular log shapes, as well as rounded forms like our Ovelia or Cocoon logs, are among the most elaborate. And in terms of color, besides chocolate brown, there are many pastel shades, frosted white, powder pink, and soft gradients.

The more original creations showcase shapes inspired by nature, evoking childhood or creating a cozy atmosphere : cakes shaped like Christmas trees, baubles, candy canes, leaves, clouds, or bundles of sticks. These creative intentions reflect a quest for authenticity and a desire to offer a delicious treat to share with family.

This year again, we spent time scrolling and browsing all of Instagram to select 40 Christmas logs for 2025 that caught our eye for their originality, flavors or quality of execution, but also 15 very original signature Christmas cakes.

The Chefs have once again outdone themselves to offer cakes with perfect finishes, ultra-bright or elegant icings, gourmet piping and decorations sometimes understated, sometimes more elaborate; 2025 trends that may inspire you for your 2026 yule log creations ?!
