Yes, thats right - but not dense as in heavy - as the ones i make are still quiet light to the touch and when holding - but handle very well.
You could make cupcakes from it - altho i use it for making Friands - for a dessert - with chopped strawberries through them - devine they are.
And the aroma, ummmmm!
How true - makes you hungry - even when your not -  
A Brooklyn-born friend of mine, and I are planning a trip to his shop next month. We want to pick up one of those cream puff cakes they sell - you know, the ones with the strawberries on it?
No, sorry - i have no idea - i have only known about him since being on CC - as we don't gt him over here on the West Coast of Australia.
But i did go have a look at his shop/site on the net.
Some mighty big cakes there -  It's still a little too warm here to transport it back to PA in the trunk. We figure December will be just the right time to bring something like that home without it wilting. If we go, I will make sure to let you all know how it was.
Oh great - you will tell us all about his shop - the whole exviting trip - what you saw - what you smelt - what HE said - what you said - each and every delectable mouthful i suppose - whilst i sit drooling at my screen -....... 
and then describe in minute detail - the texture - the smell and the aroma wofting around you whilst you savour every morsal -
Oh ok - do tell, probably the closest i will ever get to having one - rofl

Awww, Sweetie, if I knew I could get something over there, to you, intact, overnight, without having to re-mortgage my home to ship it, it would be yours.

A lot of people refer to a cake as the "sponge" when they just mean the undecorated cake. It might not be a true sponge cake recipe, who knows.
In one of the first episodes they were mixing batter, and the person narrating said "and then for Buddy's secret ingredient, cream cheese. That keeps the cakes nice and moist." I don't know of a sponge cake recipe that has cream cheese in it, off the top of my head, but I'd been meaning to look into it ever since I heard him say that.
I do think they refrigerate those cakes, or freeze them, before they toss them around like that, though. They're still slightly flexible because they're so big, but unless they were cold you wouldn't be able to manhandle them that way. |

Call them and ask. Here I had to set up an account with Dawn, but then you get preferential pricing. I have to get the order in one day, then it's available for me to pick up the next day, but my Dawn isn't a big distribution centre, so it might be different to yours. |

There is a Red Velvet recipe from Buddy on the food network site. I think there is also a lemon and carrot cake recipe too. I found it when I was searching on the Foodnetwork Challenge show info |

Wow, Theresa, you must have a lot of willpower!!! I'd have that thing eaten before I got to the car. Seriously, the first time my husband and I went through a Krispy Kreme drive-thru, he couldn't believe that I'd inhaled 1/2 dozen of them before we got out of the parking lot . . . no willpower here! |
