Talk:List of cakes

message: There is no Dundee cake here, and if we are to have Eccles cake, why can we not have Chorley cake? Also, if we have tea cakes, should we also have 
scones? ACEOREVIVED (talk) 23:41, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Donauwelle - has its own article that calls it a cake, has a picture, tastes great :) --91.19.133.13 (talk) 14:46, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

message: It says here that Swiss Roll originated in the United Kingdom, but the article on Swiss roll says that it originated in Central Europe, possibly in Austria or Hungary. Does any one know which is correct? ACEOREVIVED (talk) 23:46, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

message: I deleted the reference to Queen Elizabeth Cake because to click on that only takes one to the article on Cake. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 20:52, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I undid your edit before seeing this talk page post, because you didn't delete the whole line leaving some markup behind. However, it does look like this is a valid cake, and it originally had a stub article. Restoring that stub and expanding it with some references would be better than deleting it from the list.-gadfium 01:50, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

message: This list is not in alphabetical order. If you look at where whoopie pies are, they come just before the cakes beginning with "H", whereas to get this in alphabetical order, they should go at the bottom of the list. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 11:42, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Does battenberg really have apricot jam? It certainly has marzipan around it, but I am not sure that the jam is always apricot jam. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 08:23, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Query about [[Battenberg]]

message: Having looked at the list, I am amazed to see that it does not include  doughnut.This is truly amazing  - it should go in, and some one could then point out that not all doughnuts have a hole in the middle. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 19:37, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

message: There does not appear to be ginger cake  - there is ginger bread, but no ginger cake. Ginger cake and gingerbread are not the same tning  - ginger cake is soft and spongy, whereas gingerbread is hard. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 10:37, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

message: Where does the information that fruit cake is of Caribbean origin come from? This is not something that I have ever heard before. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 14:57, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

message: There should be eclairs added. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 12:57, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess there should be some overlap, like donuts being in cake and bread. But, eclair? That's really a pastry, right? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:30, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

text: I've never, ever thought of eclairs as cakes. I would guess 99% of people know them only as pastries. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:42, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

message: There seems some dispute about whether muffins should be here, on the grounds that some claim they are, and some claim they are not, cakes. 
The Wikipedia article muffins does describe muffins as a "semi-sweet cake"  - but it also describes them as quick bread. Looking at the recent history of the article, muffins were deleted and then added back  -  it seems as if we need a discussion on this talk page about whether 
muffins should be included on this list. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 14:41, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

message: Should we add Flapjack_(oat_bar) to this list? ACEOREVIVED (talk) 14:47, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Should we add flapjacks?

message: Looking at the history of the article, I see that there has been dispute about whether angel cake originated in the United Kingdom or the United States. It seems that it did originate in the United Kingdom  - I wonder whether the person who made the edit which said it came from the U.S.A. was thinking of the angel food cake, a cake which did originate in the United States.

thread_title: About the Angel Cake

message: The photograph of the angel cake does not really look like the cakes that are sold in the United Kingdom known as 
angel cakes - they are slightly larger, and more likely to be yellow in colour. I wonder whether this photograph should be removed and replaced with a photograph of a different cake. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 09:24, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Photograph of angel cake

message: I hope that no one mind, but I changed the name of what was formerly down here as a French fancy to a fondant fancy  -  in the 
United Kingdom, where I live, these cakes are more commonly called fondant fancies than French fancies (and the list does have the United Kingdom down as the origin of this cakes). ACEOREVIVED (talk) 16:50, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

message: I have suggestions for two new additions to this list  -  marsh mallows, and syrup cake.  ACEOREVIVED (talk) 16:07, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Suggestions for two new additions

message: I have a suggestion for a website for help with this article: 
http://allrecipes.com/Recipes/Desserts/Cakes/main.aspx
although I must say, a lot of cakes in it are already on the list, such as upside-down cake or cup cake. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 13:33, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Suggested website for help

message: This article doesn't include many things that are considered "cakes" in one place, and not in the other, for example here in Vietnam hamburgers are considered cakes (Banh Hamburger), and so are hotdogs, baguettes, and bread general, meanwhile in some parts of China (Fujian) spring rolls and egg rolls are considered cakes (but saying that to a viet could get them to even get physically aggressive despite calling everything else a "cake"), and in the Netherlands there is no difference between a cake and a pie, what defines a cake? even the cake article gives no clear distinction, I think that we should just create a general page for baked and fried foods, "cake" is a really ambiguous term, if you'd call a hotdog a cake in Vietnam it's normal, but to call it a cake in Germany or English is laughable, but still I'd add hamburgers and lumpias to this list as they can regionally be considered "cakes". --42.113.73.178 (talk) 00:44, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: They might be considered cakes in the country of origin, but they do not meet the inclusion criteria for this list.  The very first line of the introduction to the list says, "The following is a list of types of dessert cakes by country of origin and distinctive ingredients"  Since hot dogs, hamburgers and lumpia are not desserts, they do not belong.  -- GB fan 01:27, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  What defines a cake? 

message: Somebody has added cuatro leches, cinco leches, and seis leches to the entry on tres leches cakes. Only the last of these is Wikilinked to a properly referenced article. Other than teaching how to count in Spanish, the other entries add no information, and are completely unreferenced. Until/unless they are backed by a source article, I propose to delete them as useless and possibly spurious.  Reify-tech (talk) 14:03, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
