While Christmas stollen cakes are baked according to various recipes throughout Germany and other German-speaking countries, "Dresden Stollen" is a protected geographical indication, meaning that it can only be prepared and sold in the vicinity of Dresden and only by members of the bakers' guild Schutzverband Dresdner Stollen. The special features of this type of cake are a heavy, very rich dough (according to the classic technology, 3 kg of butter are added to each kilogram of flour), which is thickly stuffed with candied fruit, nuts and raisins. Correct stollen are baked 30-40 days before Christmas, thickly greased with honey and butter, wrapped in parchment and sent to "ripen" on a buffet shelf or in the cellar.

It is believed that the attribute of Christmas in its classic form - as a mixture of bread crumbs, fat, dried fruits, brandy, dark beer and spices - pudding became with the light hand of Queen Victoria. But about how its recipe was formed , ideas are vague. According to one version, the original reason was the ancient technology of preserving meat on ships: meat was laid with plums, greased with fat and preserved in this form. Then the meat left the recipe, plums were replaced by raisins and canned fruits , but the name - plum pudding - stuck for the Christmas delicacy. Making pudding according to all the rules requires 7 hours so that all the ingredients become one whole in a water bath, but it can be stored almost forever. On the holiday, English puddings are not so much eaten as exchanged as gifts, and the role of packaging is played by the cloth in which the pudding had been steeped, infused with all the aromas of Christmas.
