Fruitcakes existed before the universe was born. And they will long outlive the universe.

It’s a fruitcake universe.

One of my wife’s friends gives us fruitcake I actually like. That’s the only one ever.

And Christmas future showed you what a moldy old fruitcake you’d turn out to be if you didn’t straighten up your act.

Some things (like some people) never seem to change.

As fruitcake jokes go, this is less insulting to fruitcakes than most.

My wife’s aunt makes a delicious fruit cake almost as good as my mums.

Store bought ones are generally rubbish which is why the fruit cake myth got started!

I generally like fruitcake, but much prefer Stollen

A shipmates mother sent a fruitcake soaked in so much rum, you could squeeze it out and drink it.

A good fruitcake is simply a spice cake with pieces of cherries, walnuts, orange, raisins, and a good bit or rum. They’re delicious.

Every year my father would come home from the office Christmas party with a fruitcake the company always gave out (the cheap store-bought type). As soon as he’d set it down, Mom would throw it in the trash. Kind of a holiday tradition at our home.

Isn’t there a theory that only one fruitcake actually exists, and it just keeps getting passed around?

I want to taste fruitcake, idk if I ever had any

Fruitcakes, the gift that keeps on giving!

“…And God Bless us, every one! (Except the Fruitcake)…”

( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

A good fruitcake, properly re-brandied at intervals, can serve as a festive re-gift for years. It may even offer future archeologists an insight into our glacéd fruit culture.

I’m thinking about making my mother’s old recipe for icebox fruitcake. It’s fantastic. A luscious torte of fruit, pecans and a little bit of sweet cookie filling. Let it sit in the fridge for a night and a day and its ready for consumption.

Was he also visited by the ghost of doorstops past, present or future? That’s what most fruitcakes seem to end up as.

Every Christmas I see dozens of “fruitcake” gaga. And this is the first one I ever read that I thought was funny. Bravo!

Well Frank you are in luck then, no point in changing a thing.

There’s only one fruitcake…

Fruitcake: The most frequently Re-Gifted item on the planet.

Or in Space.

One of my sisters-in-law once set out to make a really Great fruitcake from a recipe she got from a friend. It called for soaking the Fruit in Bourbon for a few months. So, she got a batch of top quality dried fruit, a bottle of premium bourbon and put it into a container and stuck it in the back of the refrigerator.

When it was time to bake the cake, she pulled out the container, opened it and found 3 small pieces of fruit and a couple tablespoons of Bourbon left.

Actually I generally like fruitcake

As opposed to anything pumpkin spice related which I loathe and cannot understand at all
