Giving Christmas Cake a bad name, one rock at a time

Explains a lot.

Solution: never buy a commercial cake. Make it yourself from a tried and true, moist dark cake recipe. Always a hit in our family.

I had to order some because of all the stuff I’ve been reading. The ones I got were bar style and very good.

My wife makes great fruitcakes. Wrapped in rum soaked towels in an airtight bucket for a month. I never liked fruitcake until I married her.

I actually miss the fruitcakes a former workmate used to give out at Christmas. Her family owned the Texas Fruitcake Company whose products featured lots of Texas pecans. A drizzle of Brandy over it and poof it was devoured instantly. Delicious and definitely not a heavy brick like all the others I’ve tried over the years.

Straight from the ovens of Acme Brick Co….

This guy’s nutty as a fruitcake.

Next year, you won’t be able to buy a fruitcake. They’ll all be in (or fired from) Greedy Amin’s cabinet.
