Talk:Christmas cake

message: It says 'Christmas cake is a type of fruitcake served...' but most of the examples provided on the page are totally not fruitcakes. Perhaps a more general one could be written. Something like this, but better, if anyone wants to take a shot at it: 
Cakes and pastries of various sorts are traditionally given or consumed on or about Christmastime in numerous countries. In some, the baked product is explicitly called a "Christmas Cake" (or variations in the local language), and may not be gifted or consumed aside from special occasions such as this. In the UK and many former British colonies, fruitcake varieties are most commonly associated with this practice.    — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shoobe01 (talk • contribs) 23:39, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: All of the links to this page point to "Christmas cake" indicating "cake" is not a proper noun, so it should be lower case. Jonathunder 16:29, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think 'Christmas Cake' as a phrase is a proper noun (Christmas Cake in general) and 'Christmas cake' is a common noun (many Christmas cakes). The first is more appropriate for an article title. Njál 14:12, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Within the article, there is a reference to the "Whisky Dundee", and in the External Links section at the bottom of the page, there is a link to recipes for "Dundee Cake". Both names are references to the "Whisky Dundee Cake", but there is no explicit connection made between them. Not everybody is familiar with both names, so should this be changed to clarify the association? -Elusive Pete 21:58, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually the British and Commonwealth section needs removed and rewritten.  In Britain a Christmas Cake is a rich fruit cake with marzipan and hard white icing, sometimes decorated with Christmas themed cake decorations.  I don't recognize any of the other stuff mentioned in the article as being anything to do with what constitutes a Christmas Cake in the UK.  And by the way, a Dundee Cake is not a Christmas cake either, and neither is a Christmas Pudding, which are both totally different food items - I suggest removal of this section completely if it can't be improved, and if citations can't be made - because at the moment, it's total b()ll()cks:--31.53.21.176 (talk) 16:10, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

message: From the lede:
:Christmas cake is a type of fruitcake served at Christmas time in... Japan...
But it goes on to say that CC in Japan is a sponge cake. So it's not a type of fruitcake served in Japan, is it? (Sanity checking here before I change it.) Marnanel (talk) 17:37, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I have removed the following paragraph describing "Apple Creme Christmas Cake" as I can find absolutely no mention of such a thing on the internet aside from in this article and direct quotations of it.
"At the other end of the Christmas cake continuum, the apple crème Christmas cake is a rich mix of finely sliced apples, raisins and other fruit, with eggs, cream cheese, and heavy whipping cream."
