Dutch RFV-sense of "a slice of cake". ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 10:21, 27 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

When you do a Google Image Search on “slice of cake”, several of the results could pass (I think) as a gebakje, like the type of gebakje seen here. This type has a slice of cake as its base, upon which Chantilly cream and pieces of fruit and/or chocolate have been mounted. That type of gebakje is fairly common if I can trust Google Image Search. However, this type is already also covered by the general definition “a piece of pastry”, so this second sense is IMO superfluous, being subsumed by the first sense. A second problem with the definition “a slice of cake” is that it can also denote something like what we see here, which is not a gebakje. Therefore I think we are better of if this sense is deleted as being superfluous and potentially misleading.  --Lambiam 00:07, 30 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
