 I despise fruit cake, but it never fails, every year I get more than one of them.     I don't mean to sound unappreciative because I do appreciate being thought of but... it's "fruitcake".  It just SCREAMS "re-gifted" item , and it feels like all the homeless, unwanted fruitcakes end up spending Christmas with me.  I'm scared to put them out for the birds (don't want to kill them).  I've tried to give them away, NO ONE WANTS them!!!

Not the store bought stuff, then I've never had homemade either.  I'm sure there is some good fruitcake out there I've yet to taste it.

I enjoy fruit cake but only one from a bakery in Texas, expensive but good.

Agree!  The Collin Street Bakery in Corsicana, Texas makes the world famous fruitcake that will change your mind about all those "fruitcake jokes" you've ever heard.  It is rich and moist and has been a holiday "tradition" for as long as I can remember.  Well, these "original recipe" fruitcakes date back to 1896 and ship worldwide.

I suppose I can understand why some people just don't like the type of fruit used in the recipe's batter, but chances are those cakes are too dry anyway, quickly turning so hard you could use them as a door stop.  Not the Collin Street Bakery fruitcake.....

To me fruit cake should be done by one who really knows how to marry those ingredient so that, they taste really good. If I can get my hands on a well made one I'll eat it otherwise no thank you.

99% of them NO.  However i did have a gourmet one from a nice restaurant and I enjoyed it!

[shepherdchik]

I think if people made it fresh it would be very different and probably delicious instead of disgusting lol

Call me crazy, but I actually don't mind the taste of fruit cake! I think it's something you have to get used to, like an acquired taste.

I love fruit cake. I just bought two. One for myself and one to bring to my mom. I surprised her with her favorite cake. She had no idea I was going to bring her a cake.

I don't care for the store bought ones, but some homemade ones i really like, , hubby does not like the store bought either, But now that there is just te two of us, i don't spend a lot of time making the fruit all year that goes into it. Which means candied. It takes a lot of time. So why do it.
