in a perfect world
I'm frustrated.
I'm frustrated that I have to write about fruitcake.
Why do you have to write about fruitcake? you may query.
It is because fruitcake and fruitcake recipes are what I have photos of I will say.
The thing is that at least half of you hate fruitcake with all your heart.
The rest of you probably eat it in the dark away from the mocking, condescending remarks of haters who won't let you love in peace. If you hear one more remark about using fruitcake as a doorstop you will cry.
So there you are,
in the dark,
eating.
Eating fruitcake.
What can be said?
Baby steps, that's what. Yes, baby steps.
Turn that light on and munch for joy!
Next year, turn the light on and invite loved ones to witness!
Two years from now you'll be having theme-related parties like Dress Up as Your Favourite Fruitcake or Let's All Only Eat Fruitcake for Dinner!
A girl can dream, can't she?

Warm, 'fruit-cakey' hugs!
Great post. Since my Mom passed away the torch has been passed on to me to make the fruitcake. Every year in September my father begins to ask if I have started prepping the fruit. Fruitcake is something that grows on you after awhile, for all the haters out there - there's lots of of treats to enjoy. It wouldn't be Christmas without fruitcake. Enjoy!
I've never liked fruitcake, but yours looks yummy.
I don't think I've ever eaten fruitcake. Any dislike I harbour is entirely the result of the evil anti-fruitcake propaganda machine! You have struck a blow for freedom with this post! Mail me a piece of fruitcake!

I kink of like fruitcake but I love my mom's fruitcake.
I meant "kind of" not "kink of". Ha!
I love fruitcake and will shout it out...unashamed!
*sigh* I absolutely ADORE fruitcake and I don't care who knows it!
Does anyone else eat around all the cherries and save them for last?
OK, maybe that's just me being weird.
it is a family tradition to watch 'pee wee's christmas special' every year. totally made in the 80's. i don't know how you feel about pee wee herman, but he doesn't like fruitcake and everyone gives him a fruitcake as a gift. miss renee, who is jewish, gives pee wee 8 fruitcakes. he eventually makes a room out of all of them. I don't think i've ever actually tried a fruitcake... i, too, have just assumed. but I like fruit and i like cake! you have inspired me to try!
any questions?
