Oh no; Not that.

December twenty seventh is a day some dread, National Fruitcake Day!

Indulge in variations of a classic cake from all over the world or compete to see who can fling this fruit-packed favorite the furthest.

Fruitcakes— we’ve all seen them in the movies or grandma’s kitchen. The heavy and dark cake that looks like it went through seven stages of baking and sounds like a fist thumping against a wooden table when set down on a surface.

Yet, there is a day made for it. That’s right, this day is called National Fruitcake Day and it’s made for the celebration of the cake that we all seem to find synonymous with a brick.

Excellent Carson bit. Obviously all true and not the least bit fabricated or exaggerated. 

 

I tried fruitcake. Once. Probably 40 years ago.

I did too. It's still sitting in my digestive tract...

I am a bit bummed this year. In all of our haste to prepare for Christmas, we forgot to order a fruit cake. A good fruit cake is one of the best desserts of the season.

I have had one good fruitcake, the rest were a big letdown.                  Leftover buttermilk biscuits with honey is the best in my opinion.

The best fruitcake by far is a Jane Parker. They used to sold exclusively by A&P food stores, but since A&P went the way of many good markets, they are now sold online. Our favorite is the dark fruitcake. Terribly expensive nowadays.
