My Father enjoyed fruit cake. He used to give/send them to family and friends (mostly old Marine Corps buddies) for Christmas every year. He passed away in early Dec. two years ago at 89. The fruit cakes came from a company called Collins Street Bakery out of Corsicana, Tx. This was something he did for well over 25 years.

I did not know everybody he sent fruit cakes to and he did not leave a list. So I called Collins Street Bakery and told them he had died and asked if they could supply me with a list of the people he was sending them to (they sent them from the bakery directly to the people on his list). He had already ordered and paid for his order and they sent me the list. I was able to send cards to those who would not know he had passed.

I used to like the Collins Street Bakery fruit cakes. That what we would get in Texas growing up.

I haven’t had it for years because I can’t find it sold around here.
