FRUIT CAKE

Leia not in a smiling mood.I don't blame her. Mom was leaving for back home. We had such a wonderful time while she was here. I can't wait to see everyone in a few months. Time is flying by. Cheese
Mom helping me make fruit cake. I couldn't be out done by my sister.We were going to make both to compare the 2 but I forgot the cream cheese at the store. So we only made mine. I was interested in comparing the 2 since I LOVE MINE SO MUCH. It must be a twin thing .I didn't know that she liked them too.I am a closet fruit cake lover. Scared if anyone knew that I liked it they would think that I was fruity,nutty ,or just plain lost my head.I can say that I probably am all of those above ,but not just for liking fruit cake. There I just had to get it off my chest. HA HA!!!


Some of the players. Note Only get one container of the fruit. 1 was plenty.

Drool Drool Yum Yum!!! Don't eat right away. The longer they sit the better they are. Needless to say 1 of these is already gone. (I gave my neighbor half) the rest will sit and get better with time. They might last until Christmas but I doubt it.

I know Kelly just posted about a fruit cake. I am pretty sure hers is mouth watering delicious especially since it has cream cheese in it. I also love Fruit Cake and have a great one too.They are so easy to make and so so so yummy.This one's Not a hard brick that tastes bad like the store ones. Those are gross.
