Well, now I'm even more confused. I had assumed that if any sort of cake would be a generic "white" or "yellow cake" it would be a sponge, and the pictures in that article seemed to confirm that, but then it says "White cake has a very light, almost sponge cake-like texture, whereas yellow cake has a moister and denser texture." Then again, it also says "Wedding cakes are frequently white cakes" and wedding cakes are fruit cake, so who even knows what it's talking about.

I always wonder if when that year goes by and they dig it out and it's freezerburnt to hell, they actually choke it down or just laugh about how silly the tradition is and trash it. It used to be done to show opulence and wealth. Back in the 1800's when it was hard to keep things fresh and near impossible to keep things frozen for a year, rich couples would do this as a way of showing off. The tradition held and now its just silly since nearly everyone has the ability to freeze things for long periods of time. Its the same as the jello trend of the 40's. Used to be hard to make jello stuff since it required a lot of meat and cold, so once everyone could do it you saw tons and tons of disgusting recipes. This is all total bullshit as far as I know, but it sounds plausible right?

Yellow cakes have egg yolks, white cakes don't. Both are vanilla. Very simple. Fruitcakes are a punchline in America. Not sure about the UK, but I think maybe there, too. ETA: We ate the top tier of our wedding cake on our first anniversary. It was fine. A bit dry, but fine.

Wedding or Christmas ones usually have about a cup of brandy in them, then another 1/2 cup poured over them before they are aged for months.

Sugar and booze is the preservative. You're not supposed to put it in the freezer. Cover it in muslin, mist it with more booze or a booze/water mix to stop it going dry every month or something. Meanwhile the dried fruit has absorbed the alcohol does it's thing to mature the flavour - which is the whole point of a aged fruitcake. This isn't a "well now with have a fridge/freezer" type of food like jello someone mentioned. It's an older tradition than that and fruitcake in the freezer is just stupid.

The best fruitcake I ever had was basically just chopped nuts and preserved fruit pressed into a loaf and held together with honey. I can't find any evidence of it on the internet, so it may have been something completely different pretending to be a fruitcake.

I have had 2 bites of fruitcake my entire life. Once when I was 8 at my grandmother's for Xmas. It was horrible. And the last time at my then girlfriend's house because, "You may think you don't like fruitcake, but that's because you haven't had my mom's! It's amazing! Trust me, just try it! My whole family loves it!" It was just as bad. Fruitcake should be banished from this earth. Why couldn't Hitler have done something constructive and direct his hatred towards that?

The former is full of sugar and booze as preservatives to last ages, the latter could be anything like even one of those white or yellow cakes mixes tiggum struggles acknowledging the existence of.
