Being a dessert addict I never met a dessert I didn’t like – or eat!
That mixing set is great. Very sleek and classy
Though it’s not for everyone,Its always been around at Christmas. But I prefer pecan pie.
Make them for others, but our family does not want any part of them. I only use the items that i like and have relatives that help pay the cost of ingredients. Not a bad job.
How pretty. Yum. Did you make that?
No! Never fruitcake!
No to the traditional fruit cake – yes to some of the yummy ones.
No–don’t like fruitcake
Yes to homemade, old fashion fruitcake. No to the crap they sell at the grocery store that is all sticky and weird colored
Yes! I’m one of those weird people who loves fruitcake.

Yes I love fruitcake if homemade with cherries, dates, pecans and raisins. Not a fan of the other fruits.
I do like fruitcake.

My mom use to make a delicious fruitcake every Christmas. I am not particular fond of the pne’s that are sold today.

I would have to say no to traditional fruitcake. However, I do like other types of cakes with fruits. Love todays prize giveaway! So unique! Thanks for the opportunity to win it…:)

I HAVE NEVER MET A FRUITCAKE THAT HAS LOOKED EDIBLE.
I have enjoyed many fruitcakes in my 60+ years and also baked a few old fashioned type. The old fashion type is the one that I like the best, it also reminds me the most of Christmas.
I don’t normally care for fruit cake, however when it is I do like a good European type when it’s more like a coffee type cake.
