browngirl: (Fruitcake)
[personal profile] browngirl
So, the wind is cool in the mornings, the sky clear and blue in a way only seen in the fall. As they have for several years, my thoughts turned to fruitcake.

But this year, I felt a certain... terror. I don't know if I have it in me this year to do the project like I have in previous years, especially around J. and E, but mostly just based on what my available energy currently seems to be. I know every year I talk about scaling it back, but this year I really must or risk promising more than I can accomplish, which would be utterly unacceptable. I could just take the year off, but I do love this project, and I'm afraid a hiatus will turn permanent. So.

For those who haven't seen me descend into fruitcake-related insanity before: I usually offer 4-5 different recipes/flavors of fruitcake (last year's are described here with recipes here), and a box of samples with 6 or 8 assorted bite-size cakelings. A gallery of cakes may be seen here.

I've only just heard about your fruitcakes, and I have to confess here, fruitcake in any form is one of my favorite treats - I'd totally be willing to pay for them, if you made them for sale.

That said...I know that cooking, especially in great quantity for holidays, can be exhausting. Fulfilling, but exhausting. Someone up the thread suggested offering just four minis, and someone else pointed out that just one mini would be a gift-size all its own. I wholeheartedly agree with both (what? I'm a Libra!) and that you should ask yourself what option would give you the most happiness.

Aha! I just noticed your recipe post! *plots to make my own cake...*
