Most grocery store "bakery" items are indeed not made at the store. My youngest son is a quality control manager for a company called Gonnella Baking which has several facilities around the country and they supply a large number of grocery chains with bread, rolls & cake that are either partially or fully baked and that the store either thaws out and finishes the baking process or just finishes up the decoration and final touches. They are not necessarily bad products, but they are not scratch made in the stores, as the grocery companies would like you to believe.
