As mentioned in the Wikipedia link, the “wood cake” is actually sold in Japan as well, and called _baumkūhen_. And they can actually be made fairly large.

<p>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?</p>

<p>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.</p>

The size is not greatly exaggerated; [Japanese baumkuchen](http://www.juchheim.co.jp/english/policy/p_baumkuchen) is often rolled into the size pictured in these screenshots, though smaller versions are also widely available.
