It may, eventually, but it would take a very long time. In western Canada it's traditional for the top layer of a wedding cake (the Bride's cake) to be fruitcake, and to be saved for consumption on the 25th Anniversary.
ahhh. i was curious, partially, because we have a christmas cake (a fruitcake with marzipan and icing, delicious when fresh :) ) purchased in the UK last year still on our shelf.
unfortunately, i don't think we wrapped it tightly enough and it has likely solidified into a brick.
we keep it primarily for scientific purposes at this point. :)
It's totally ok. And, since I'm gone on the other coast from Xmas till New Years, you have even more time! ;) (not that I'm in any rush, actually - so no rushing on my account!)
Or I could just mail you the recipe. It's easy.
I probably want the recipe anyway, actually, but I tend to be very poor at having enough initiative to cook anything ever. :)
Also, as for your subject line - I wasn't entirely sure about the circumstances of you making them. Did not want to be asking when I didn't know if you enjoyed them, nor if you were tired of making them. :)
how neat! one of my favorite things to do is cook and have a bunch of people over to eat so i can enjoy seeing them enjoy what i've made... is it anything like that for you, also?
I've tried the soy nog lately. Tastes awesome. Probably doesn't go bad as quickly as the milk-based stuff.
Fruitcake? Fruitcake? Why get fruitcake when there's plenty like me around? Fruitcake doesn't go bad for years and you can keep passing them around the family as mathoms.

Loves to, despite all appearances to the contrary.

Date: 2004-12-20 06:52 pm (UTC)Fruitcake would be happy-making, since it's been years since I've had any.
See, I can't go around making fruitcake for everyone who *implies* they might want a fruitcake.
