Wow, is that a standard-size Texan donut, or what?

A lady that lived on my mail route, Mrs. Rankin, would start making holiday fruit cakes at the beginning of fall. Mrs. Rankin skipped the fruit and used pecans and a liberal dosing of an "adult comfort" beverage. I was lucky to partake of a good sized slice on New Year's Eve. Yes, it was life changing ! 👍

You may know John; most do not. Collin Street Bakery is world renown for their fruitcake. People make fun of the stuff but theirs is a special treat. When I lived in Joshua, TX., I made the 75 mile trip to Corsicana every Christmas for the cake. OH MY!!

For me it is the famous Claxton Fruit Cake, made in Claxton Ga. Every year I get a couple of logs of it and fortunately in my family, I am the only one that likes it. A man could not be so lucky!

@carsman1958, I've had the Claxton as well. It's another legendary fruitcake. Kelly came on board with liking them a few years ago. I was glad....kinda....

Thank-you for your suggestion Tony 👍
I've ✅ out their site and they have a delicious looking Apple Cinnamon Pecan Cake that I'm drooling over. And, no, I'm not willing to share 😋

I always loved fruitcake (even as a kid ) but remember what Carson always said, "There's only one fruit cake; it just gets passed from person to person, season to season... "

@perrone1 Tony; your fruitcake cartoon reminded me of the interesting life parallel to getting through today's world.....sometimes it's just better to be dense.

My mother loved to bake and we always had home made fruitcake at Christmas time!

Ahhh; God bless all of our mothers! Mine passed away 12 years ago at 98 years, 1 month. Cooked and baked all her life.

There's nothing like the aroma of our Mother's kitchen at Christmas time 😇👍
