This article needs to be cleaned up. There is too much about the extremes that tortes & torte-making can go to, and too much trivia in general. When a wedding cake collapses it is called "a disaster"? (And for birthday cakes it's "catastrophe"?) Needs some editing. 165.124.70.189 18:20, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] definition of torte is not quite right

Yes, I agreed. Also, the article represents a personal view of the word "torte" which does not conform to the accepted definition, which means a cake made with ground nuts or even bread crumbs, but is by no means a layered cake. Many European tortes, in fact, are not layered at all. NaySay 23:29, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] wedding cakes?

Why is there a section on wedding cakes here? Wedding cakes are not, in general, tortes. I suppose they can be, but this section just contains general stuff about wedding cakes, so I don't see how it fits here. Klausness (talk) 23:10, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
