What's the point though? It just looks awkward and inconvenient to eat, you still need to put it on a plate, and it's way more effort than just cooking it normally.

That's why you make six of them and stack them so that as the cheese melts it soaks through layer by layer before you shove the whole thing in your loving throat and die crying with joy.

This doesn't actually work, even misting the dough beforehand does a better job and thats still crap if you want a really crusty bread. If you really want steam in a normal oven, fill a roasting pan full of lava rocks, let them preheat with the oven, and when you put the bread in, toss water in the rocks and close that fucker before the steam escapes and murders you

I'm basing this logic train on the fact that Europeans think white bread apparently tastes just like what they think cake should taste like. (And extrapolating the fact that most Europeans can't stand the level of sugar in our fat american candy as well). If they think white bread is as sweet as cake well...that just tells me a lot about their cake.

Scrape the frosting off a lovely storebought cake and it tastes almost exactly like wonderbread. Hell, its even got the awful texture!

It says more about the cake than the white bread to say that cake tastes like white bread. Even if they are equal sweetness the cake should stand apart due to spices, oil, and/or eggs.

If it comes in a cellophane bag in the US it probably has too much sugar whether its white, wheat, or HFC free because it makes it easier to turn brown when toasting.

It probably just means you havent eaten that sort of vile cake, or you just didnt realize it because your tastebuds were being assaulted by the frosting that usually comes with it

The height of the storebought cake experience is someone buying one for a celebration and everyone mills around it talking with other people about how they really hate that sort of cake (frosting especially), a few brave souls will grab a piece and eat one or two bites before carrying around the rest for an hour before tossing it, and the host tries desperately to pawn off the rest of it to people so they arent stuck with the cheapest cake known to man to languish in their fridge because they "dont like wasting food"

Are you talking about cakes from an actual bakery (i.e. store that does nothing other than cookies and cakes) or from a grocery store?

Because if you get them from a grocery store, that might be your problem.

Buttercream frosting really is the worst. At Walmart it comes in giant 25 pound tubs and you can almost feel the diabetes coming from it.

I work for a place that just acquired a cupcake store and the majority of them have buttercream frosting. The recipe is literally "stick of butter and a baseball sized glob of crisco" followed by I think ten or so cups of powder sugar.
