Talk:Bundt cake

message: I removed the translation of "bund" as "a gathering of people" as that meaning of the word is not commonly used in German-speaking countries and certainly doesn't have anything to do with the origins of the word "Bundkuchen". It has more to do with the way the cake is wrapped around the center hole.
Also, "bundkuchen (sometimes called kugelhopf or Gugelhupf)" should probably be the other way around; that type of cake is called "Napfkuchen" or "Gugelhupf" in Germany and mostly "Gugelhupf" in other German-speaking countries, but note that the different names usually describe slightly different shapes. "Bundkuchen" is a regional term and is not widely used elsewhere. 85.124.36.244 11:26, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Somebody picked up a dictionary and translated "Bund" as "federation" and "union". This is not wrong per se but the word has lots of meanings. The above translation just doesn't make sense in this case so I removed it. The name really has to do with the shape which is reminiscent of objects like trouser waistbands (one of the possible meanings of "Bund") or other things that are shaped like that. 85.127.112.24 22:48, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I deleted the bit about "Bundt [coming] from the German word Bund meaning 'a gathering of people'" that User ChildofMidnight reinstated... again. Believe me folks, this (very obscure) meaning of the word doesn't have anything to do with the name of the cake (as somebody explained later in the article). --85.127.115.8 (talk) 10:13, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Can someone please tell me what the difference is?  Is it the amount of oil used? the temperature for baking?  Please help me! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.229.129.18 (talk) 03:30, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

text: It's the shape: the fact that it's got that big hole in the middle.  I think the shape actually alters the chemistry. Michael Hardy 19:54, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

text: In a normal pan, the dough in the middle will take longer to cook than the dough on the edge.  For particularly heavy doughs this can be a problem, and you have to cook them slowly to avoid soggy middles and burnt edges.  A bundt tin allows a more even distribution of the heat.  I have an orange cake recipe that works much better in a bundt tin.  Additionally, it's easier to cut a bundt cake into even portions! 82.68.30.106 (talk) 10:16, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Difference between a bundt cake and a regular cake? 

message: The photograph on this page is terrible.  You're supposed to be able to see the shape.  But the hole in the middle is inconspicuous.  Someone who didn't know it's supposed to be there might fail to see it at all. Michael Hardy 19:55, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I switched it for two images of a frosted and unfrosted Bundt cake, which more clearly show the shape. Jonathunder 00:33, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Elsass belonged to the East-Frankish Empire (later the German or Holy Roman Empire) since 869, when Ludwig the German and Karl the Bald divided up the lands of their brother Lothar. Only in the 17th century Louis XIV. tried to grab land wherever he could, be it in Spain, the Netherlands or from the Holy Roman Empire in Elsass. Strassburg is the city were Gutenberg invented printing and has always been a German city. Even the French haven't got a name for it other than the German one (although they mispronounce it comically). Same for Mühlhausen etc.. 194.166.34.250 (talk) 01:48, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lousy photograph 

message: The list of appearances of bundt cakes in popular culture contributes nothing to the article. Should every entry in :Category:Cakes list each time it appears in a movie or TV show? And why stop there? Should we list every appearance of any food item in any popular media ever? Feezo (Talk) 20:05, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  In popular culture 

message: Shouldn't the term "Bundt" be capitalized? While a Google search reveals that some people capitalize it and some don't, I've noticed that "serious" writers always capitalize it. For example, take a look at the articles linked in the footnotes on this page (from the Washington Post and Star-Tribune).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.39.210.222 (talk) 18:27, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
