Vachon Billot Log (or Billot à la gelée) is a classic snack cake originally created by the Vachon bakery, a powerhouse of Canadian snack culture. These sponge cakes are rolled with jelly and cream and coated in coconut, serving as a staple in Quebec and across Canada for decades.

The brand's history dates back to 1923 when Rose-Anna Vachon and her husband Arcadius founded their bakery in Sainte-Marie-de-Beauce, Quebec. Over the century, through various acquisitions, the brand transitioned from a family-owned business to being a part of major international food icons.

Today, Vachon operates as a major brand under the umbrella of Grupo Bimbo, a Mexican multinational that is the world's largest baking company. Despite the international ownership, production remains deeply rooted in Canada, primarily at the historic Sainte-Marie facility, ensuring the legacy of the original Vachon recipes is preserved for North American consumers.
