Prime Pick: Carlton Hotel Mango Yuzu Manjari Log Cake
Boasting of offering both sweet and tangy goodness in a delicate creation, the Mango Yuzu Manjari Log cake is a lovely balance of sweet fresh ripped mangoes combined with flavour of yuzu, a refreshing Japanese citrus fruit, melts in your mouth. The bittersweet Valrhona Manjari dark chocolate coating serves as a welcome to those who prefer a less-sweet option.

Bakerzin Tropical Christmas Log Cake
This elegantly decorated cake starts out with a delicate almond dacquoise base followed by a light genoise sandwiched between two layers coconut mousse dotted with crunchy desiccated coconut. A generous layer of salted caramel mousse balances out the sweetness of the dacquoise and genoise before the whole cake is encased in coconut mousse and topped off with a light caramel cream.
