I'm not sure that would be the problem, as sugar would be crucial to the texture of cakes

What I'm saying is that they may be using artificial sweeteners and/or things like HFCS, which as a liquid mixes in with bakery ingredients faster and easier. So, if they're not using actual granulated sugar it could affect the texture of the pastry as well as the flavor. I see this in grocery market bakeries all the time.
