Bring back the fruitcake

0

A Grand Finale Patisserie is hosting the 2nd annual rally to bring back the real fruitcake on Saturday, Dec. 12, at 2 p.m. in Louisville. Join bakery workers as they march down Louisvilleā€™s Main Street handing out samples and information about real fruitcake.

ā€œThe typical old fruitcake ā€” heavy as a brick ā€” is the butt of many jokes around Christmas time, but traditional fruitcakes, as made in many European countries, are far moister and richer than their American coun terparts,ā€ says Nicole Hedlund of A Grand Finale. ā€œA well-made, traditional fruitcake is meant to be eaten. It should contain equal amounts of dried fruit, nuts, cake and brandy and is a gift that will be appreciated and enjoyed by everyone who receives it. This is what A Grande Finale Fruitcake is ā€” decadent and delicious, and we want everyone to experience it.ā€
