You can leave your druthers!

Fruit cake is easily the most hated cake in the existence of baking. It's dense, overly sweet and surprisingly heavy for its size. Sure, some people like this seasonal baked good, but we don't really trust them. Who in their right mind wants to eat something that looks like this:

I like fruit cake...this year I got one at Costco and have wrapped in a bourbon soaked cloth till the holiday. I also like plum pudding...the best is from Seattle. I order one every year. It's the only domestically produced product that comes close to a non-vegetarian British homemade pudding.

I love fruit cake - the richer and darker the better! The one in the pic above (Kroger, I think someone said) is just too light for me. I love plum pudding and fruit mince, too.

We make our fruitcakes. We make them in late October. We wrap them in /rum soaked cheese cloth. On the last week before Christmas we start eating them. We usually make extra to freeze. I found one (small loaf pan size) in the back of freezer. It was 5 years old. Decided to try it and was amazed it was still moist and good. My wife said nothing could ruin with amount of rum I used to soak them.

Merry Christmas

There is nothing better than a nice slice of Christmas pudding with custard and cream after your Christmas lunch, mmmm can't wait. Here in Australia the Arnotts Christmas pudding is one of the very best.

I don't like fruitcake I LOVE them. My girl friend makes them for her family. So far I have only consumed one on my own.

Fruit Cakes make great door stops.
