Camembert & Brie "Cakes"

[Cheese Head]

From local HEB store here in Katy on outskirts of Houston Texas, a visiting relative of mine bought a Camembert Cake thta we all ate and I took pictures of the others in the store as I wanted to one day make them. Posting now as ideas for sundance's Brie dip question and as I finally have ripe Camemberts that I've made to use. My understanding is you can serve these at room temperature or warmed.

Display Case & Brie pictures first, sorry no recipes available . . . OK I'll try and go back and ask them/get more details . . .

Good heavens, I have never seen anything like that before.  I take it that the rounds are sliced through the middle and either fruits or nuts are layered on top?
Did you taste one? what are they like?

The one we had we were told to serve it cold, frankly it tasted a bit old and dry, I think it would have been better slightly warmed.

I remember brie or camembert that oozes at room temp, it didn't do that.

It definitely looks like it would be better warmed up so that it oozed. My mother made me a brie oozer which I will post a little recipe for!
