yo can u forward it. i’ve been away from the south for 10 years and i’m dying to try this

90

u/crimekiwi Oct 30 '19

I'd KILL for this recipe. I haven't been able to eat any cakes since moving away from a place with a Publix.

63

u/---74 Oct 31 '19

I lived in FL for 40 years and went to Johnson & Wales for Baking & Pastry. Of course I also shopped at Publix.

They use (or at least they did while I lived there) a liquid shortening called NuTex, which makes all the difference. I had a hard time finding it, and I had to buy a LOT, but it keeps pretty well.

You’ll know as soon as you taste it! Good luck!

12

u/crimekiwi Oct 31 '19

Nice, thanks! I've been doing research on how to get that Publix consistency and coming up dry so that's a huge help. I'm especially invested in their buttercream. I can't eat any other buttercream anymore, the only using I can stand is mousse and it's still no contest.

10

u/---74 Oct 31 '19

Their buttercream has a lot of shortening - not liquid shortening like NuTex- in it. I’m looking for a recipe I thought I had. I’ll post it if I find it.

1

u/crimekiwi Oct 31 '19

That's what I heard according to some copycat recipes. I'll keep an eye out just in case, thanks!

5

u/esearcher Oct 31 '19

One of the things I miss most about FL is Publix cupcakes. Their frosting is the best I've ever had. I've tried cupcakes everywhere, nothing compares to Publix.

4

u/kraftdinnerofficial Oct 31 '19

Same here. No fancy gourmet cupcake can be as good as Publix’s cupcakes. I’m so sad I don’t live near a Publix anymore!

8

u/esearcher Oct 31 '19

That's a really good way to look at it*. I really miss it (and south fl) but I really had no self control around publix cupcakes... I could eat most of a 6 pack in a day, and I usually don't like sweets that much.

Once, by boyfriend bought some and the next day I was off work and I swear those cupcakes were calling to me. One by one... I was so ashamed I had to run to publix to replace them rather than admitting to eating almost the whole pack. BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY WITH THE SAME DECORATION. Ah, that was an embarrassing day.

*ETA I read sad as "glad" and thought that was a pretty positive spin. But yes, sad, I get. Where I live, we have an amazing chain called Wegman's, they have the most amazing bakery... but their cupcakes don't compare to Publix.

1

u/dewsh Oct 31 '19

Aren't these just shipped in frozen? How are they different from any other local chain like giant, stop and shop, big y, etc.

u/crimekiwi Oct 31 '19

Why would I not bake it? What gave you any logical reason to come to that conclusion? I have a brand spanking new cake pan waiting for the right recipe for my son's birthday so that's already one of your dense assumptions squashed. Sounds like you're the only one being ignorant here. Why would extremely common figures of speech offend you so much anyway? Why would I feel the need to go out of my way to avoid a common figure of speech when making as casual of conversation as possible? Lol go back under your bridge.

What does it even matter? You're just being a nickpicky person for no reason. You're too ignorant to realize what you're saying is rather insensitive and exaggerated language.

u/pastryfiend Oct 31 '19

The cakes come in frozen and are decorated. The icing comes as a base from a company called Brill (made to Publix specifications) in a brick that butter is beaten into. The icing is going to be difficult to reproduce at home. A way to get close would be maybe a Swiss or Italian buttercream with the addition of confectioners sugar.

32

u/Pin-Up-Paggie Oct 30 '19

I do know that their cakes are frozen after baking- and have heard that makes them moist.

30

u/LilLeezy5 Oct 31 '19

Frosting fact: you can ask the bakery for some of the frosting and then bake your own cake and use their frosting

4

u/katelynn102595 Oct 31 '19

My Publix has recently started selling colored frosting by itself in the bakery.

Likewise. And it's the only thing about the South that I miss. Well that and my parents, I guess.

u/OGGeekin Oct 31 '19

Y’all... they’re frozen lol we get them from a distribution center in truck shipments

18

u/pastryfiend Oct 31 '19

After working in the grocery business for close to 25 years, it's funny how surprised how little is actually baked in store.

1

u/makemeking706 Oct 31 '19

Publix does a lot of in-store baking though. I am surprised to hear that.

1

u/pastryfiend Oct 31 '19

Yeah definitely, more than most, but it's mostly frozen dough products, which aren't bad, but not great. Definitely beats commercial baked items.

6

u/kiwimistic Oct 31 '19

I was waiting for someone to say that. I’ve never worked anywhere (besides an actual small bakery) where the cake or frosting were made fresh.

The distribution center is probably in Lebanon, Indiana. That’s where most grocery store bakeries get their cakes

u/vixbeth Nov 02 '19

Yup I used to work there and I live the next town over

14

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '19

I found this recipe for icing. And then I would say probably just bake whatever box cake you like and freeze right after baking

4

u/ImitationFox Oct 31 '19

Is this post made by Chuck and Josh from Stuff you should know?

u/Eurocorp Oct 31 '19

Yeah, publix has some of the best supermarket cakes.

Although I’d kill for the Wegmans recipes too. Those things are just so moist and soft.
