Fruitcake?

[Lance Bunyon]

Re-gift it until it petrifies.

Also, what are the glowing green things?
I think it's alien fruit.

They vary, but I generally like them. Rarely get them, and what I bake is more stollen than fruitcake.

If you don't like them, there are food banks and food pantries and such like that would be happy if you donated them, rather than throwing them in the trash.

Having been borderline diabetic, I have to keep away from such foods.

I should, too, for sure.

What's this "until"?

I used to eat them when I was a kid.
Explains a lot don't it?

Yeah, I thought they came petrified when new?

Scientists have determined fruitcake to be the densest known substance in the universe.

As yet to be verified...

Lovely with a nice cup of tea.

If you replace the word "Fruit" with the word "Wedding" you can sell the exact same cake for 100 times the price.

My wife makes a dense cake with dried apricots and nuts that is phenomenal.

I wont touch any other fruitcake and if anyone gives us one, it ends up in the garbage.

I'd eat that!

Yep, I always grab up one around this time of year. Had a chunk Thursday, and it’s still as good as it was the first time I had a taste. The only fruit cake I liked better was my aunt’s homemade, but she’s been gone for a while now, and Claxton is on the same level.

I'm sure it's great as far as that type of fruitcake goes, but I just don't think I'd like all that candied fruit.

If you do like that kind, Collin Street Bakery is highly recommended:

Sunnyland Farms has less of the candied fruit:

Claxton also makes a dark cake which I like as well. Since I only have a little fruit cake this time a year, I just pick up whichever Claxton cake my local grocer has on the shelf.

I've never tried it, but I think I'd give it a try.
I went to this website to check it out. They need to be like Costco and give you one, maybe two, choices. I was all prepared to make a purchase but became overwhelmed with so many choices and bought nothing.

My mother made them. As other people said, the cake was good, just didn't like the candied fruit.
