Alias: swiss_roll <-> roll_cake
Refers to the same type of cake. I made the wiki for Swiss roll earlier, but it can be transferred to roll cake if it's preferred. Plus it's called roll cake in Japan, so I used that spelling for the wiki.

Looks like it's called 'roll cake' just in Japan, and other regions have so many other names for it that it's mind boggling. My question is since we use Japanese terms, naming conventions and such on Danbooru, should we use 'roll cake' to fit with this rule, or use the Western term 'Swiss roll' since the site is in English? Not to mention that the west also calls it a jelly roll AND a roll cake, and you can see where my confusion is coming from.

I think we'd only prefer the Japanese term for things that originated in Japan. Doesn't seem these did, so normally we'd go with what they're usually called in English since this is an English-speaking site.
After spending 5 seconds skimming wikipedia it looks like both swiss roll and jelly roll would work for that. Out of those two I'd go with swiss roll since it's the tag currently in use.
