Hello, I'm back! It seems like the previous fruitcake season (which for me, remember, begins around May and continues through January or February) took a heavy toll--I was happy to be without them for a few months.
Before the Christmas holidays, I was contacted by Veda, who lives in New York City. This woman has got it going on when it comes to fruitcake. I tell you people, home-made cakes are the best. I don't often accept home-made cakes to review, but Veda sent me her two specialty items: a dark and a light fruitcake (the latter she calls a Dundee cake).
These cakes were both beautiful and delicious. Veda works very hard on making beautiful, quality cakes, and annually sends 300 pounds of fruitcakes around the world to family and friends. She spares no expense on the quality of the ingredients and actually has a room dedicated in her house for storage of these lovely things before shipping them off.
Veda was nice enough to provide me samples of and recipes for both of her cakes. Recipes, reviews, and photos to follow soon!!

Awesome! Can’t wait for this!
Isabelle, we're past the halfway point to Christmas, and fruitcake-o-philes everywhere are wondering where you are. What can "the gladsome fruitcake season" be without you?
It's hot as you-know-what in Atlanta today, and I'm dreaming of fruitcake and Christmas! Hope you're okay, Isabelle. Haven't seen you on your blog lately.
