Fruitcake taste test; Gethsemani Farms wins top honors

fruitcake from holy cross abbeyFruit "cake" or fruit "confection"? Many of today's fruitcakes are judged to be too much fruit, too little cake. Take, for instance, the Harry & David's fruitcake offering - deliciously packed with nuts and candied fruits - which received a B from Health.com's taste test. Points off for the lack of cake maybe?

The company reviewed fruitcakes from five major internet sellers, rating Gethsemani Farms $27.50 Kentucky Bourbon cake as the best with a grade of A, and the little old lady in Oregon as last with a D , she of Gloria's Classic Fruitcakes. They're "dry, dense, and bitter," and sold out for the year, so you can't try them, anyway. Also rated: Holy Cross Abbey Monastery Fruitcakes and Georgia Fruitcake Company.
