I have no concept of a "Christmas" cake A Deathwatch Guard Send a noteboard - 05/12/2011 08:15:30 PM
Cake is just...cake. It's always good, and it's always cake, and you should have it with just about any festive meal, since everyone wants dessert, and a cake is a nice centerpiece to it. In my understanding, the only cake that gets a distinguishing feature is a birthday cake, and that's only due to the inclusion of candles. Otherwise cake is cake, and equally good on any holiday.

Is there apparently some American or European tradition of eating cake only for certain holidays?

I am confused. Do Americans not do cake at Christmas? Rebekah - 04/12/2011 10:59:04 AM 1745 Views

My family's Christmas is Second Thansgiving, but with bonus desserts. Mostly pie, cookies, and candy *NM* Burr - 04/12/2011 03:00:51 PM 586 Views
Or rather... Fifth Thanksgiving. Thanksgivings 2, 3, and 4 are all about Thanksgiving 1 leftovers. *NM* Burr - 04/12/2011 03:02:42 PM 427 Views
No, generally we do not make cake for Christmas. *NM* Tom - 04/12/2011 04:41:05 PM 446 Views

We don't have a sheet of icing? Palatine - 04/12/2011 05:08:00 PM 938 Views
We have different icing. It is not typically a very dense, flat sheet of solid icing. Like fondant. nossy - 04/12/2011 07:46:41 PM 1254 Views
That's just for Christmas cakes and wedding cakes, usually. Rebekah - 04/12/2011 07:58:55 PM 1064 Views

its a fruit cake with a layer of marzipan and a layer of icing on top Yunalesca - 04/12/2011 08:32:55 PM 1061 Views
Plus with loads of brandy used to "feed" the cake over the month before you ice it. Rebekah - 04/12/2011 08:45:28 PM 943 Views

Fruitcake, I guess. But we don't coat it with disgusting icing. And it's not really cake. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/12/2011 10:12:21 PM 466 Views
