I have one of the smaller fruitcakes sold for an unbelievable price.
The person siad it was the best fruitcake he had ever had in his life and he is 54.

You did a good job on those FC's!!! They look awesome and I hope you wrote down the recipe so you can share it with everybody. I hate when I make something thinking I'll remember it then it's not the same.

Kudos to you!!

I sort of know what I did and I can repeat it any time but I measure with my hands not measuring spoons.
I also know what a cup of flour by weight is without scales.

I learned how to make semolina pizza dough and semolina bread on the phone and pictures sent to a Sicilian lady that is long passed away.
Picture.
No add more of this.

That's good.

Oven too low or needs to bake more.

That's perfect.
All the time talking to her son and he was talking to her in Sicilian.
One of the most unforgettable and wonderful experiences in my life.

I know a lady that sells pecan bread at the markets but it's not inside just topped.

Here's 2 recipes that might give you ideas.

I voted and didn't have to cook since the Fam went to my cousins victory party for winning Mayor in the big town of Broussard La.

I used Betty Crooker sugar cookie mix for a dough and then used pecan pie filling with walnuts.

It's like a sugar bomb but it's good in moderation.

Congratulations to your cousin, Rajun! And that nut cake looks yummy.

[Worth1]

That looks good too.
My giant fruitcake started drinking before the sun came up.
A whole shot.
Then it wrapped up in a blanket and went back to bed.
Laziest cake I ever saw in my life.

It's day 14 of Ted's cake and I just added more sugar and a can of pineapple. That jar is starting to get full.

I’m closing in on the third week with my attempt. It has a distinct wine aroma when opened but fermentation for all the sugar seems slow. I added some champagne yeast lees I had saved from my last mead batch and some Fermax nutrient that kicked it up a notch but it appears to have slowed down again. Since I don’t know to what extent the fermentation needs are I’m tinkering😊

So there are at least two of you doing this.
Cant wait to see the cakes.

Going to jump in here for a report.
I broke down and bought some much needed digital scales today and weighed the smaller fruitcakes
They are 2 pounds each.
The bigger one is 5 pounds.

Folks I couldn't resist and cut off a sliver of the big one.
The look and flavor is beyond my expectations big time.
Soft nutty sweet dark and delicious.
A fruitcake fit for nobility and commoner alike.
