For Christmas 2025, Naraé Kim unveils a refined and delicate log at the Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme.

The Park Hyatt Paris Vendôme and its talented Pastry Chef Naraé Kim unveil a delicate Christmas log inspired by jewelry. We tell you more about this creation entitled "Broche de Gui" (Mistletoe Brooch).

The magic of the holidays has taken hold of Paris, and this time of year marks the return of an iconic pastry that adds the finishing touch to our festive tables: the 's Yule log. While some prefer it classic and traditional, others prefer to opt for originality. If you are one of those who want to surprise your loved ones with an unusual and refined Christmas log made by an exceptional pastry chef, then we invite you to discover the festive creation made by Naraé Kim for the Park Hyatt Paris Vendôme.

Originally from South Korea, Naraé Kim has forged an unbreakable bond between the finesse of her origins and the exuberance of French pastry. A two-time winner of world-renowned competitions, she now displays her talent in this Parisian palace, where she brilliantly combines creativity and tradition. Her signature style is the finesse of her creations, both in terms of aesthetics and taste, with recipes that are not too sweet, delicate and light, yet still indulgent.

For Christmas 2025, she unveils a "Broche de Gui" log that captures the magical spirit of the holiday season while paying homage to the neighborhood, which is popular with jewelers. This creation takes the form of a jewel representing a snow-covered, almost crystallized branch of mistletoe. Inside, it is full of zest and sweetness: it consists of a compote of kiwi, green apple, and young fir shoots for a tangy, slightly herbaceous mix, a fir tree biscuit, a vanilla ganache for a touch of creaminess, and a light génépi mousse, all on a crispy pine nut base. A beautiful way to reinterpret the holiday season.

This year, the Park Hyatt Paris Vendôme is offering a light and fruity log. It's a great choice to round off a hearty meal and is sure to delight guests who don't have a sweet tooth, as well as those with a taste for delicate pastries. However, for those who prefer decadent desserts with more powerful flavors such as chocolate, for example, and who like very sweet pastries, this may not be the log for you.

To reserve this log cake by Naraé Kim, designed for 6 to 8 guests and priced at €130, contact the Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme at +33 (0)1 58 71 10 60 or by email at reservations.restaurants@hyatt.com.
