Gift ideas from the Hyatt

MANILA, Philippines - This holiday, the Pastry Boutique of the Hyatt Hotel and Casino Manila recreates the traditional dessert of Buche de Noel, the Yule Log, which is a sponge cake made to mirror a Christmas log. Chef Johann Dreisger recreates four classic flavors and transforms them into a magical sweet treat.

Give the gift of tradition with a Frosty Vanilla Log layered with panna cotta and raspberry jelly, or a Black Forest Log made with dark chocolate mousse and cherry compote. Craving chestnuts roasted on an open fire? The Chestnut Log captures the spirit of the season with a castillas filling and chestnut puree with dark chocolate chips. For lovers of traditional desserts, the Dark Chocolate Log with chocolate custard is sure to satisfy.

For every Yule Log you buy, P200 will go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Also available at the Pastry Boutique are chocolate Santa, chocolate boots with Christmas cookies, assorted truffles and pralines, gift box sets and pastry hampers filled with signature holiday desserts, including Christmas cookies, marzipan stollen, Christmas pudding and more. Available until Dec. 31.
