Fruitcake

[Immortalfire]

So what's the deal with fruitcake? I've never had the stuff, but most people I know that have, say I'm not missing anything.

What do my fellow Hypesters think?

yeah..i've never had fruitcake before..but everyone says they dont taste very good

It is good with tea.

Hmmm, never had it. I think I should try it at least once. I mean, all the comedians seem to make fun of it. So I gues I have to try the nastiest cake on the planet.

I wonder if it's worse than fetus pie?

She is very pretty, isn't she? I envy everything about her. And yes, she's just as pretty in person. Though she was a brunette at the time.

I saw her on Deal or No Deal the other night, she came on to offer a prize to a Broadway fan who was on the show.

Much like Lewis Black's rant on Candy Corn, fruitcake seems to fall in the same boat.

Friendship cake is good, I think it's the same thing, but the process is way different. It's like a chain letter type deal, the batter some how keeps going from friend to friend. I've only made it once and it was outta sight!

Yeah, it was awesome. I wished I were her so bad. I wonder what costume she wore *thinks of the girl jumping around in a flathead costume*. Bwahahaha.

I want that f'ing wand.

[Downhere]

where ??

Ditto, the whole idea of fruit cake is horrible. Plus, there is definitely something wrong when a cake can last years.

 

[Winter Spleen]

My mom makes good fruitcake.

I once heard Martha Stewart say
"Teh fruitcake is teh suxxors"

Oh, and for you, Dog Lips:

That doesn't look edible.

FRIENDSHIP CAKE - ORIGINAL STARTER

in case anyone is interested, it's really good.

3/4 c. (can) sliced peaches, drained and diced
3/4 c. crushed pineapple, drained
6 maraschino cherries, cut in half
1/2 c. sugar
1 pkg. active dry yeast
Combine and place in glass (gallon size) jar with a loose cover at room temperature. Stir several times first day; then once daily using a plastic or wooden spoon.
After 2 weeks this starter will have fermented enough to start the Friendship Cake Mix (using the second full cycle of above fruit makes a far superior mix than not doing so).

Old recipe recommends 2 or 3 friends get together on this.

This one has more detail.

The only fruitcake I'd consume is the one made by my mother. She makes 'em really yummy!

[DBella]
