Fruitcake!

Let me be clear: I do NOT like fruitcake.

However... we live within easy driving distance of a magical bakery! At Assumption Abbey in Ava, Missouri, the Trappist monks are bakers extraodinaire! Made entirely by hand, their rich, slow baked fruitcakes are spiked with rum, marinated fruit and pecans and are absolutely fabulous! The 2 pound cakes are $28 including shipping.

This holiday season you really should treat yourself or a friend!

And, no, I don't get a cut and am not associated in any way with these folks.... except that I and my family love their fruitcakes!
