Wait. Is this a thing? People don’t just eat fruitcake around this time of year, there is a specific brand that they go to?
Is it any good?

fruitcake is delicious
are you over 50? only people over 50 are allowed to eat fruit cake, in fact it's a gene that is switched on that when you get to 50 you crave fruitcake, even though you may never have had it before.
Not true, it's a gene gets switched on the first time you have fruitcake that has been bathed in rum every few weeks since summer. For me that happened when I was 10 or 11, I snuck a piece of my grandparent's fruitcake (pretty sure it was Collin Street since they lived just across the border from Corsicana) and fell in love.
You're a fruitcake
>she shops right at ShopRite
woot
I love how we started referring to anons as "she" when we mock them
I'm literally the one who started that lol
>she thinks she started that
I most certainly did, sweetheart. And don't misgender me. My pronouns are xe/xim.
How old are both of you? 12?
And a half!
If food could be Flanderized, your pic would be the Flanderization of fruit cake. Pic related is closer to what fruit cake originally was like but now some people even try to make their own version of the grocery store canied fruit cake.
Claxton is shit, but if you're gonna buy a fruitcake and not eat it, that's the go-to brand. If you're actually gonna soak it in rum and eat it on Christmas day, and you don't feel up to making your own (its expensive af unless you're making several, then its merely expensive), then Collin Street is the way to go.
too much nuts and not enough bread
Their ratio would be ok if they actually got oven spring. I don't think they add any baking powder at all, and probably very few eggs. I add a half teaspoon of baking powder to mine and get about a 50% rise, it comes out with about the fluffiness of a pound cake, which is admittedly dense but nonetheless far from the fudge consistency of Claxton.
I have a 40 year old fruitcake from them in the freezer right now, actually. It's a family heirloom of a sort.
bakery two towns over makes fruitcake year round. I don't actually care for the cake part but goddamnit they make the best creemchese frosting I've ever ate and they slather their fruitcakes in it.
My mom used to buy that inedible block of candied fruit. I've had really good fruitcake from a few bakers that knew what they were doing, but its few and far between.
It’s like those shitty Hostess or Little Debbie cakes, but socially acceptable
only acceptable fruitcake is one made by a queer at your local bakery, nothing else will suffice.
>Not having gramma bake you a fruitcake in June
why even live
ive never had fruitcake in my life but i would eat it
