This is from a document describing all the products that the company produces. I'm not sure what a 'rocher' cake is, or whether it is described differently in English. |

| | coconut pyramid | Explanation:
They are usually blob-shaped cakes (or sweets, cf. Ferrero Rocher) — the idea of a shapeless blob being basically the same as the EN 'rock cake', though that would convey qite the wrong impression!
However, the nearest equivalent cake I know in EN is a 'coconut pyramid', which is virtually the same thing, but with a more pointy shape!

I guess 'rocher' sounds more appetizing than 'blob'! |
