Plenty of my friends are surprised to hear that some of us actually like them! I grew up on Collin Street Bakery fruitcakes which are shipped all over from Corsicana, Texas. We even ate them in Nigeria when relatives would send them out to us via travelers.

I don't think I've ever had one from Collin Street Bakery, even though I've been living in Texas off and on for a couple of decades. But, I happen to be parked 15 minutes away from their Waco location right now (I live in an RV and found a nice quiet park in West, TX where I'm holed up to finish some projects that are behind schedule), so maybe I'll pick one up next time I drive to town. Though, I tend to like making my own. It's fun to experiment, as fruit cake is such a weird creature.

My grandfather owned and ran a life insurance agency in San Antonio and that was his go-to gift for clients and family for many years.
