    i thought you were calling me names.

    those look great. i have not yet had TRUE homemade fruitcake. from what i hear, it's great. but all the warnings about fruitcake have me gun shy.

    those would be the perfect size, i would think. no giant loaf of fruitcake to intimidate. just a couple of those and a cup of coffee.

    is it just a traditional fruitcake recipe in a cupcake size?

    We have a small Co-op in Belfast, the town next door to the studio and there is a lady that used to do the most heavenly fruitcakes. it was 12.00 for just a small mini loaf but worth every single penny. they were all topped with a beautiful dried pear. and perfectly rum soaked. I would love to find them again..... Stike if you get a chance to try a real honest to goodness home made one that is moist and fruity DO IT!

    i have never had it (Fresh, homemade) other than once i think, truthfully. i think it gets a bad rap, and so no one i know goes near it. there's none around.

    alton brown did a piece on it once, and lamented the curse put on fruitcake... it's a running gag.

    i remember it was pretty involved. soaking dried fruit, blanching almonds, etc. Is it a lot of work?
