My father loves to eat fruitcake, as my grandmother used to make it every year for Christmas. My mother used to make it often until few years ago, she stopped.
Two or three years ago, I made a different version of fruitcake and it was pretty good. I think homemade fruitcakes are so much better than store brought fruitcakes.
Incidentially, I do like inviting fruitcakes to my parties... *snickers* Just kidding...
