Let's Bake a Fruit Cake


Although fruitcake is traditional at Yuletide, it was once also the traditional
wedding cake due to its lasting properties. In the old days, when honeymoon
trips might last a year, the cake was not cut at the wedding but was saved for the
return of the newlyweds. At that time, a party was given and the cake was cut.
