The only one I ever cared for was one my grandparents would sometimes send at Christmas time. It was barely any 'cake', but mostly fruits held together by a little cake. I think it might have been sold by Harry and David.

I do not like it at all, but my diabetic DH loves it. So I will buy him a very small one and make sure it gets balanced with protein.
I absolutely hate maraschino cherries.

Anyone who puts maraschino cherries in a fruitcake should be boiled with their own Christmas Pudding and buried with a stake of holly n their heart. Candied cherries, now .. that's a horse of a different color.

I like the candied fruit in the fruitcakes I buy, but I have to admit that too much of a good thing can ruin it. That's why I like the ones I buy: they don't overdo it with the candied fruit.

Do you own a bakery sweetpea? Yep! What are your specialties? I miss not having a true bakery around here. I used to love fresh coffee cakes, Napoleans and cinnamon apple muffins.

Everything I make is based off of both grandmas' recipes. I make all different kinds of brownies, coffeecake, cheesecake, cookies, cupcakes, cakes, etc. All made with butter-no shortening.
