Are there any good brands of fruitcake that can be found in stores?
There was a family bakery here in Lincoln that made an excellent fruitcake. It went out of business a few years ago. I'm looking for a good brand of fruitcake that might be found in a store. What are your recommendations?

2. I used to love the ones at A&P.
Jane Parker I think was the house brand.

7. That looks very good but it also looks like one I'd have to order.
Maybe I will order my fruitcake from there but I'm still hoping to find something that might be found on a store shelf here.

6. NO.
"Good fruitcake" is not possible.

8. Do you know what Fruitcake and Used Diaper Genies
have in common? Both could end wars in the mideast if dropped from C-130 aircraft
