Stupid Guest Tricks

LOL, this would be my first thought also. Fruit cake served at any happy event is just wrong! :(

darph, just had a horrid thought, & must cover all my basis. ;) Does The Baker make fruit cakes? Cuz sometimes you do send things. FYI, I don't want any fruit cake sent to me @ anytime for any reason. I know how your mind works. A suspicious package from you containing the above would do more than cancel your free tortillas & beer offer. Got it? Now, note it to yourself. :soap:

I really have to ask, why on earth would you ruin the drink of the gods-RUM with fruitcake???

Proud convert to rum after a week in Antigua with a bottle or two of English Harbour.

Ingredients

1 or 2 Quarts Rum
Brown Sugar
1 tsp Soda
1 tsp Sugar
Baking Powder
1 Cup Dried Fruit
1 Cup Butter
Nuts
Lemon Juice
2 Large Eggs

Before starting, check the quality of the rum by sampling (good, isn't it?). Now go ahead. Select a large mixing bowl, measuring cup, etc. Check the rum again. It must be just right to insure the quality of the cake. To be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup into a glass and drink it as fast as you can.

With an electric mixer, beat one cup of butter in a large, fluffy bowl. Add one seaspoon of thugar and beat again. Meanwhile, make sure the rum is of the finest quality. Try another cup. Open a second quart if necessary to complete. Add two large eggs, two cups fried druit and beat until high. If druit gets tuck in beaters, just pry loose with a drewscriver. Check rum again. Sift one-half pint lemon joice, flod in chipped butter and strained nuts. Add one babblespoon brown thurgar, or whatever color you can find. Mix well. Grease inside of oven and turn cake pan to 350 gredees. Pour whole mess into oven. Check rum again.

Go to bed.

Went to a wedding where the wedding cake was a nice fluffy sugary confection. And the groom's cake was squares of fruitcake, all prepackaged for each guest to take home as a wedding favor. The marriage lasted 6 months. I'm not sure if the fruitcake contributed to the downfall.

And now slightly more off topic...
I will admit that our groom's cake was a carrot cake. Picked for those who didn't want the chocolate or white cake in the wedding cake. I'll have to find a picture of it. My friends who made it, designed it to look like a firecracker packet. It even had a frosting firecracker with a fuse, that we lit.

So you're saying the groom's cake had more longevity than the marriage?

Hey, my groom's cake was a carrot cake! Picked not because it was my favorite, but my bride's. And we're coming up on our 19th anniversary.
