Nordic-inspired Christmas at Cedele
Pumpkin spiced latte season is out, and logcake season is in. This year, local favourite Cedele is celebrating the Christmas season, Nordic style, featuring wholesome ingredients and comforting flavours freshly made in Singapore, with a spread of new and returning hits that are sure to set the mood for sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling too.
First up, the savouries: Santa’s Surf & Turf Croissant Platter ($68), a set of 12 buttery mini croissants sandwiching luxe crab mayo, as well as tender pulled beef.
You may recognise the platter from past editions, but here’s something new to 2026’s line-up━Cheese & Spinach Brioche Wreath with Festive Dips ($48). It’s the perfect grazing dish to kick off your Christmas feast, with your choice of Garlic Spring Onion or Pork Bacon Cream Cheese Dip.
Trust us when we say you’re missing out if you skip this. Think: warm, fluffy little cheese-speckled bread balls, dipped into creamy, umami-laden bacon cream cheese. You’re not drooling, we are.
Returning this year is the Truffle Mushroom Crown ($48), another Christmas favourite at Cedele. You couldn’t ask for a better combi than this, with flaky, buttery pastry plus earthy diced forest mushrooms, elevated with truffle oil.
Rest assured, it’s not all about the finger foods, because Cedele’s bestselling Wagyu Beef Shepherd’s Pie ($79) is back on the menu this year!
Cedele fans will know the absolute treat this is, with a rich, tomato-based Wagyu braise below, and ultra smooth, fluffy mash on top, finished to golden perfection in the oven.
Balance this out with an order of Jolly Mesclun Salad ($48), tossed in a bright, zesty yuzu vinaigrette that’ll have your palate refreshed before the sweets.
This year, the dessert spread is shaking things up with a Winterberry Banana Cake ($80). As with all of Cedele’s bakes, it’s baked fresh daily right here in Singapore, with unrefined sugars or no trans fat.
If banana cake is your go-to sweet treat, this festive edition is layered with darling baby pink strawberry cream cheese, adding a bright, berry note to the rustic cake.
Then, there’s the all-new Winter Hearth Cheesecake ($60), inspired by the warm hug of Nordic spices.
This cake starts with cardamon-infused cheese, poured over with toasty caramel apples, and given texture by a buttery walnut streusel. Don’t let the idea of cardamon sway you━this combi had us thinking of fireside cuddles on a snowy winter’s day.
Of course, Christmas ain’t Christmas without log cakes, and Cedele presents two of ‘em this year. There’s the classic Flourless Chocolate Log Cake ($78) that’s been a festive staple for every one the brand’s 29 years, crafted with the finest European butter, and gluten-free to boot.
On the same hug-in-a-dessert note, there’s the Spiced Apple Noel Log Cake ($82), which we loved for its cinnamon-spiced apple filling, and brown butter chocolate ganache.
Another new item to add to your Christmas cart at Cedele is their Noel Tiramisu Tart, available in a set of four minis ($31.20), or a 7-inch cake ($90).
Their take on the Italian dessert sees a buttery tart shell filled with an utterly decadent, brandy-infused chocolate custard. For legit tiramisu vibes, this is piped over with mascarpone cream, before the tart is dusted in cocoa powder and cinnamon.
Whether you’re ordering the annual panettone for your fam or gifting, you’ll be happy to know that this year’s new creation is a Spiced Carrot Walnut Panettone ($48), which reimagines Cedele’s signature Carrot Walnut Cake as the Italian sweet bread.
Yes, there is actual carrot baked into this panettone, as well as walnuts and chocolate chips, jazzed up with cinnamon, and dusted with a cinnamon streusel that had us coming back for seconds and thirds.
Otherwise, the classic Orange Jaffa Panettone is also available, both as a set of six minis ($25), or a large 900g ($48) version.
For little treats to go along with those post-feasting cups of steaming hot tea, stock up your pantry with some cookies such as the new Assorted Christmas Cookies ($40)━a tin of Almond Oat Long Black Cookies, alongside the brand new Cinnamon Nut Crunch, and Earl Grey Chocolate Chip flavours.
Alternatively, another new set is the Assorted Tea Cookies ($41), with nine pieces each of Earl Grey Chocolate Chip, Classic Hojicha, and all-new Matcha Almond Shortbread.
Otherwise, the Assorted Espresso Cookies ($40) are their coffee-accented counterparts, with Almond Oat Long Black, Taro Latte Marble Shortbread, and Salted Walnut Espresso variants.
Here’s the best part: you can get two tins of these, or any of Cedele’s other Christmas cookies, at $75, or four tins for $148, which works out to be $37 a tin!
And this 11.11, Cedele is offering 11% off all Christmas offerings, except for sliced cakes, hampers, festive bundles, and the above cookie tin promotion. Enjoy this discount from 9 to 15 November 2026, for pick-ups and deliveries all the way till 31 December!
