I like it with the icing on, although I eat neither that nor the marzipan. I steal the Christmas pudding's hard butter instead.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They put icing on it? Ew. Never had that version.
I like dense where you break off crumbles and nibble because then I can control the sweetness infusion.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
No icing (or frosting, for that matter) on this cake.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
He is damned hot, though. I wonder how he does that. Whoops. They just blew him up.
Heh. I had the same thing! Except I do think he's goodlooking.
We had awesome apricot (?) fruitcake at my parents'. Yummers. This one [link] actually.

Christmas Cake! You people don't have Christmas Cake?

See also: Wedding Cake and Christening Cake.
My Christening Cake was the bottom layer of my parents' Wedding Cake. The hard icing (along with all the alcohol soaked into the fruit) acts as a most excellent preservation agent - you put the cake in a tin and then keep it, and then when you need it again in a few years' time you just remove the icing, put on fresh icing, and there you are with a Christening Cake.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The war is over you know, y'all can lay off the recycling quite so much.

Sorry, Fay, we really don't. But we do have pumpkin pie, so I think we're okay.

So what's up with the saving the top layer of the wedding cake custom here then?

That's not for a separate occasion! I mean, it's for a later date, obviously, but the same Event.

I blame the kind of "fruitcake" made by Claxton Fruit Cake [link] for most of fruit cake's bad reputation. It's bad quality candied fruit smushed together into a horrifying sticky block. I've been to Claxton, Ga., and the sign when you enter the town says: "Welcome to Claxton, the Fruit Cake Capital of the World"
