Fruitcake has kind of a reputation. You know: OH NO, somebody gave me a fruitcake, who can I pawn it off on? I was wondering about your opinion?

I voted for 'Yuck, it deserves its reputation'! I cannot stand fruit cake - it always makes me feel really sick and I will NEVER eat it at Christmas, usually I end up having a cake and the rest of our family has the fruit cake. It annoys my mum sometimes that she has to buy one whole cake just for me LOL.
The rest of my family love Fruit Cake so I just let them eat it and I have something completely different! I don't like sprouts either, they make me want to be sick everytime I eat them! Even the thought of them makes me feel sick!!

I like dark fruitcake fed with rum and cognac and aged a year. Most I can't stand. They're too sweet and disgusting.
But the dark stuff..... oh man.... it's great. And I make my own. People who haven't liked fruitcake have liked mine. Julia Child's recipe.

i'd live for awhile on fruitcakes, thick farmer's cream or vanilla ice cream, and milk... yummy... good homemade or bakery fruitcakes, not the cheap ones from the grocery store... i voted 'i love fruitcakes'
unfortunately, i'm intolerant to gluten, lactose and any form of sugars... i had totally forgotten about fruitcakes but you're making me droll... i'll have to find a receipe that is made of buckwheat and rice, with more spices...

ummmmmmm...that's the kind my friend's aunt makes. She stores it in the cellar, only disturbing it to add more cognac.

I just stumbled in here and voted not realizing where I was. lol
I like certain fruit cakes. Home made ones. I just made one a couple of days ago. It's a dark fruit cake. I'm going to cover it with very very thin layer of marzipan (almond) and then white fondant icing and I decorate it with xmas ribbon or usually Tartan ribbon and stick some little things on the top that I've had for years. Xmas tree decoration and a little sled with santa and presents etc.. I don't mind a little bit of home made fruit cake with a cuppa tea. I can only eat a very small piece though. Could never eat huge slices. I'll tell you something though. They're not cheap to make at home these days. By the time I bought all the ingredients including a miniature bottle of alcohol I could have bought quite a number of cakes in the shop. |

I like the dark homemade kind. Soak it in enough rum and I am a happy girl!
