The Ubiquitous Fruitcake

This fruitcake is really good, although a bit too sweet for my taste.

Oh, you're supposed to eat this?! I thought it was a door stop! ;) Nice shot! A classic.

We have a tin of fruitcake that has made the family rounds via gift for the past 8 years. The recipient innitals the back of the tin, with the date, and is required to give it, the next year, to someone not already listed. I wish I had kept it, if it looked this good.

People make jokes about this stuff, but I just love fruitcake. And this is so beautifully photographed. Who could resist?

I would so devour this right now.

Mom H: I know how sad it made you! We joke about them but we still like how they taste. I ate this right after I shot it!

Gary H: I agree about the DOF!

I still feel sad when I think of all the fruitcakes I have made through the years to give to family and friends only to discover that they were not enjoyed by so many. I still love them and had a delicious piece at a party last night. Love, Mom

I love good fruitcake. A nice holiday image.

Really looks yummy Cheryl... would like more dof and all of it sharp. My favorite is plum pudding. Actually Jim Rome was talking yesterday on his sports radio show about someone sending him a fruitcake and how much he hates it. :-)

Funny how notorious this cake has become. I had an Aunt that used to send us one every year. And every year my dad would place it on the floor in front of a door and call it a door stop.

Tasty Yumm!

It does look good but aren't there jokes about fruitcakes and how you can't actually eat them? I've always wondered. I've never tasted one. Your photo sure makes me want to try a slice though.
Guest 15-Dec-2004 07:47
WOW, I've never seen the inside of a fruitcake, which probably tells you that I've never had one either, but this looks good, I think I'll try it this year
Guest 15-Dec-2004 07:10
