I have not seen that episode. The concept is not a difficult one though. You
make a sponge cake with a good amount of eggs, poke holes in it, put a sweet
mix of canned milk and cream on it and let it soak to the bottom. Frost with
a whipped cream based frosting. The idea is kind of goofy in this country
but a Mexican or South American wouldn't find it goofy at all.

They claimed that they had all sorts of problems with the normal recipe. I
read somewhere that on that show they look for problems that aren't really
there and reinvent the wheel. I think in a lot of cases this is true!
