The Milo Dinosaur Espresso Log Cake ($105.80 for 1.2kg) from Pine Garden may not sound like the typical festive cake, but it was one of the most memorable creations we tried this year.

Another decadent option for all chocolate lovers, this Grand Gru Chocolate Yule Log offers the perfect balance of textures and flavours. Boasting rich orange confiture, silky chocolate cream layered with Genoa sponge and a delightful cocoa crunch, we love how the fresh, fruit and zesty tones of the orange balances out the deep and slightly intense flavours from the chocolate, and how the cocoa crunch gives this sweet treat the perfect bite. For those who prefer sweet and tangy flavours, the Swissôtel Sleigh is an exquisite treat comprising raspberry confit, elderflower lychee coulis, light Chantilly cream and a soft and moist gluten-free sponge. Enjoy 15% early bird savings when you place your orders by 25 December.
