Does anybody here actually like fruit cake?


I do.

Every year for Christmas we get a Collin Street Bakery DeLuxe Fruitcake. It's delicious.


FYI...you do realize you're supposed to soak the fruitcake in rum or brandy, right? I mean it's pretty darn good with just a slice of butter melted on, but liquor makes it so much better. It's an old tradition that people have forgotten about.

Btw, never made my own fruitcake...I've had crap store-bought fruitcake and it sucks, but Collin Street Bakery kicks butt.

Merry Christmas.

Never cared for any store-bought ones, but the ones my Mom has made over the years are great. Used to like Archway's fruitcake cookies too, but haven't seen any for years.

The fruitcake from Collin Street Bakery is the only fruitcake I've ever had that I liked. I've tasted bites of others and couldn't see why anyone would eat them. I got my first one from Collin Street, "fed"/soaked it with bourbon for a month and really liked it, with fresh whipped cream. I also warmed it and served it with good vanilla ice cream. Now, I get one every year and we look forward to it.
