It was quite rich, but the sponge was moist and light, the buttercream delicious and the ganache had a lovely sheen. You wouldn't want to eat too much of it, but a slither was yummy.

This is Tesco's most basic offering and there is nothing fancy about it. The chocolate had a nice sheen to it and it cut nicely. It's cheap and not bad with a cup of tea.

Beautifully decorated with solid chocolate shapes, I couldn't wait to tuck in. Sadly, the decorations tasted like cardboard and the sponge was too dry. There is way more icing than there is cake.

The biggest issue here is that all the chocolate coating falls off when you cut it so your slice ends up looking a bit of a mess. The buttercream was lovely and rich though without being overly sweet.

It's rich and there is a lot of icing, but I found it overly sweet. The cake was a bit dry, too. It's also pricey but a proportion of the cost does go to charity.

You could easily pass this off as your own. It was traditional, creamy with a rich milk chocolate flavour. Aldi has perfected the ratio of cream, sponge and ganache - and it's great value too.

This was the most expensive yule log I tried. You can't fault M&S on flavour though. It's coated with a chocolate fudge frosting and finished with an attractive dusting of sugar, that gives it a traditional appearance.
