  No, I don't like it.

We had a tradition in our family for years where a poor fruitcake would get wrapped and passed around. LOL. The icebox fruit cakes are good.

My grandmother made a wonderful fruit cake.  I haven't found anything to replace it but sure would like to.  Don't think I've had a decent one since the late 50's.

How does one eat those things?  Fruitcakes are simply awful.  Yet people continue to make them.

can't say i've ever been a fan!
all the different tastes and textures just aren't appetizing.

they must be a very old christmas tradition, though.
my granny liked them, and i know a lot of elderly
people who do too.

I think the fruit cake has to be done right. I love coffee cake. That should have been the tradition. yum.

Never tasted it but am curious on how it tastes

My dad loved fruit cake, and we used to buy one every year at Christmas.  I would have an occasional slice, but the bulk of it he ate (eventuallY).  Once in awhile we would make a fruitcake from a Florida Fruit cake recipe that was more of a white cake with the cherries and nuts; it was less rich and sticky.  As for me--it isn't that I don't like fruitcake; it's just that there are a lot of sweeties I like better than fruitcake.

I have never had fruit cake but I don't think I would like it.  It doesn't sound very good.

I prefer to make mine. The store bought is not what i call a good fruit cake. I use grannys recipe, But it is a chore getting the fruit ready for one. I don't make one very often but when i do everyone really likes it. I think it has to do with all the fruit soaked in brandy.

I've never been a big fan of fruit cake, but as a kid I enjoyed watching my grandmother and mother going through the process of making it and storing it in a white illow case for weeks.

[sherryfan]

it depends on the baker and how he or she make them

Hi,

I truly love fruit cakes and it is among the favorites of my "best tasting" deserts. I love the cake with a hot cup of coffee milk. When I a eating and drinking this, I feel, so, so, good inside    .
