To be honest, it would have to be a pretty special cake regardless to be "better" than what I usually make at home but that is exciting news nonetheless! I will have to let my freind know; she's gearing up for her first xmas in Japan.
Some of the conbini/depato cakes are just down-right odd to my taste. I think they must steam them, because they're weirdly rubbery in texture. I couldn't eat them either.
