Hello. I searched Google for copycat recipes and did not come across any. AI came up with the following information.

From Google AI:

Finding a direct clone for Mrs. Seibold s Bake Shop (of Fort Smith, Arkansas) is a challenge because their specific formulas are kept secret. However, you can replicate their signature "cloud-like" texture and fruit-forward flavor using these highly-rated "taste-alike" recipes for their most famous rolls.

1. STRAWBERRY SWISS ROLL (THE "CAKE" STYLE)
Mrs. Seibold s is famous for a light, airy sponge and a filling that isn't overly sweet.

The Sponge: Use a Fatless Sponge Cake Recipe which relies on whipped eggs for lift rather than butter, resulting in that signature Seibold "spring."

The Filling: For the most authentic taste, avoid heavy buttercream. Instead, use a Mascarpone Whipped Cream Filling. The mascarpone adds stability and a slight tang that mimics a professional bakery finish.

Assembly Tip: Roll the cake in a kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar while still warm to prevent cracking.

2. PINEAPPLE SWEET ROLL (THE "BREAD" STYLE)
If you are looking for their yeast-based fruit rolls (similar to a Chelsea bun or Kolache style), these options are the closest matches:

The Dough: Use a Hawaiian Sweet Roll Base which uses pineapple juice in the dough itself for moisture and a subtle tropical aroma.

The Filling: Most bakery-style pineapple rolls use a thickened "pineapple curd" or jam. You can make this by simmering crushed pineapple with sugar and a Cornstarch Slurry until it reaches a spreadable consistency.

The Glaze: A simple drizzle of powdered sugar, milk, and a drop of Pineapple Extract provides that shiny, professional bakery look.

3. SHORTCUT "MRS. SEIBOLD" CLONE
For a quick version that captures the shop's flavor profile:

Cake: Use a Betty Crocker Angel Food Cake Mix baked in a jelly roll pan. It provides the exact white, airy crumb the bakery is known for.

Fruit: Use high-quality Strawberry Preserves swirled with freshly whipped heavy cream.
