The excentric German teamed up with Parisian baker, Lenôtre, to design the limited edition [Holiday Log](http://kostasvoyatzis.wordpress.com/2007/12/14/the-lagerfelds-cake-for-lenotre) or bûche de noël. "The Karl Lagerfeld holiday log comes in a mirrored box and a axe made of caramelized sugar. The actual log is made of gingerbread with [almonds and hazelnuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hazelnut-drages) filled with a compote of sweet orange and apricot and a chocolate coulis." What could be more delicious than a Germanised Parisian dessert for Christmas? It will be available just in time for the festivities. Pre-orders have already begun, the [yule log](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-yule-log-shake) available from December 22 - 25 for about $170. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Ultra Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/ultraluxury) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Designer Desserts:** Innovative dessert collaborations between fashion designers and culinary experts present an opportunity for luxury brand expansion. - **Limited Edition Holiday Treats:** The creation of unique, limited edition holiday treats presents a marketing opportunity for brands to cater to consumer demand for exclusive products. - **Luxury Food Packaging:** Designing intricate packaging for luxury food items, such as Karl Lagerfeld's mirrored box and axe made of caramelized sugar, offers an opportunity for premium branding and differentiation. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Collaborative projects between fashion designers and culinary experts present an opportunity for fashion brands to expand into the food industry. - **Food and Beverage:** The development of unique and exclusive food items, such as Karl Lagerfeld's holiday log, presents an opportunity for differentiation and marketing in the food and beverage industry. - **Packaging:** Luxury packaging design for high-end food products, like Karl Lagerfeld's mirrored box and axe made of caramelized sugar, presents an opportunity for packaging companies to target the premium market segment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Festive Fashion-Branded Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moschino-martesana-golden-panettone.md) - [High-End Holiday Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ruelo-patisserie.md) - [Decorative Holiday Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specially-selected-ultimate-melting-baubles.md) - [Festive Christmas Cake Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-wishes-collection.md) - [Co-Branded Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highsnobiety-x-marchesi.md) - [Nostalgic Holiday Bakery Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-cakes.md) - [Decadent Holiday Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paris-baguettes.md) - [Festive Sweet Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festive-sweet-products-delice-de-france-launches-its-holiday-range.md) - [Artful Christmas Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-wonderland.md)
