What are these huge donut-like things the characters are eating in the office?
From the distance it looks like cylindrical donuts, but a closer look shows
it's some sort of puff roll cake. I understand that the size is greatly
exaggerated, but what kind of pastry is this?

This is from the episode 9. I remember this site had an event recently where
the users were proposed to watch and then discuss this episode or something
like that. I wonder if this was discussed there.

What are Yasaburo and Professor eating in episode 9?


To me, it looks like [Baumkuchen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baumkuchen), a
german cake.
