Yule log boxes & cake boards

The right Yule log box makes sure your bûche de Noël arrives at the party in one piece – whether you are taking it to family, giving it as a gift or selling it in your patisserie. Here you will find long boxes, carry boxes with handles and gold cake boards in sizes that match the usual Yule log moulds.

What you will find

• Yule log boxes: the «Joyeuses Fêtes» Yule log box in 25 and 30 cm lengths (each 11.5 x 10.5 cm), the 35 x 11 x 11 cm cake/Yule log box in a pack of 2 and the 35.5 x 13 x 10 cm cake box/Yule log packaging.
• With handles: the green Christmas Yule log box in 30 x 11 x 11 cm and 35 x 11 x 11 cm – easy to carry.
• Cake boards: gold Christmas Yule log boards 29 x 10 cm and gold boards 35 x 10 cm, 5 of each.

Matching mould, board and box

Start with the mould: most of our Yule log moulds are 25 cm long. A 25 cm log sits on the 29 cm board with a little margin and fits into the 30 cm box. For longer logs, for example with the 28 cm insert, use the 35 cm board and a 35 or 35.5 cm box. The boxes are 10 to 11 cm high, which is enough for a log with flat decorations. If you plan tall figures or sprigs on top, measure first.

Lift the glazed log onto the board with two wide spatulas while it is still cold and firm – after that, only handle it by the board. Keep it in its box in the fridge until serving. For round cakes and other sizes, you will find more boxes and boards in our cake packaging and cake boards & cake discs categories.

Frequently asked questions

How do I transport a Yule log safely?

Well chilled, on its board in the box and always flat – in the car, ideally in the footwell or boot rather than on a seat. The boxes with handles are easy to carry level.

How much margin does the cake board need?

About 2 cm at each end is enough. That way you can hold the board without touching the glaze, and the log will not slide against the side of the box.

Where can I find ideas and moulds for the Yule log?

On our Yule log (Bûche de Noël) page we explain the variations, from the Swiss roll to the entremet Yule log with insert.
