Looks like a very local company.

Why not ask them

Do you really think a professional bakery would share their recipe? I was hoping that someone had a similar recipe. It is basically orange chiffon but the glaze is exceptional with bits of orange zest.

Here's a link to a recipe from an old Nova Scotia community cookbook which might get you close (since the Hot Oven Bakery is a Canadian company)??

You'll need to look for an orange glaze recipe since this cake looks like it's only dusted w/ pwd. sugar.

Thanks ci_lantro. It is a Canadian company.

Do you really think a professional bakery would share their recipe?

Yes.

Bakers and chefs share their all the time, here in the lower 48.

Are Canadian bakers secretive and unkind?

How unexpected.

Momj47 pastry shops make their living by the products they sell. I have never thought to ask them and would not. I do think your comment was uncalled for and unkind.

R. L. Beranbaum's "Orange Glow Chiffon Cake" is full of exclamation points, which might appease your cravings.

The cake can be topped with a simple glaze, in which candied orange zest is added. Or simply dusted with confectioner's sugar.

I'd type it up, but a Google search is much faster ☺

One person making a cake isn't going to impact their business. And many places find the good will generated by sharing popular recipes makes it all worth while.

But.......whatever.........

One persona making a cake, then sharing the recipe, and they share it with their friends etc. That could be a lot of people not buying the cake from the bakery. It all adds up.

I would not say that Canadians are rude and dis-respectful. I for one would never ask a restaurant/chef/bakery for a recipe.

There are columns in all the major US newspapers where people write in and ask for recipes from their local restaurants, chain restaurants, bakeries, etc.

And they almost always come up with the recipe.

I'm a Canadian. I wouldn't ask for a recipe from a bakery either. I'm old fashioned that way. In the land of the WWW things are changing and more open. Some of us have trouble with that. But that doesn't make us rude or disrespectful; we just have different outlooks and values. :) Best of luck finding the recipe you want.
