The meme had become an untidy and illogical heap of data, with excessive detail in the Introduction.
Being of a retentive nature, I have allowed the list of Sundays associated with Easter to remain, although I consider they neither have a place in the Introduction, nor particularly in the meme at all, as the fact particular Sundays are associated with Easter has very little relevance to when a cake was and is eaten! Basically, the cake is so large it would require a sizeable household to consume it all on the same day, as each "egg" marks at least one portion, so you'll have to feed at least eleven mouths. Large families were unlikely to be able to afford it, this was the food of the affluent! A middle-class affluent household might run to a family and two staff, and since the 1950s staff are unknown outside of the highest levels in society.
A further structural edit might be useful, separating the meme into sections which can be edited individually.
I also face an NPOV comflict, in that I learned of the Apostles attribution in the 1960s, so must ask another editor to review that 1970s, as it is unsupported. I believe it to be far, far older still.

The history of the cake and common convention suggests eleven balls are placed on the cake, not 12. Amended appropriately.

Simnel cake, could this also be Simonal cake? It symbolises Simon Peter's denial of Christ post crucification, It is eaten for atonement? (on behalf of 81.33.102.222) Ic451uk (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:33, 31 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
