Cream Puffs to make a Croquembouche

And just about any fruit cake, re-gifted or not is much better when soaked in Rum for a few weeks. Never tried on a white fruit cake, only the dark ones.
Thanks for the tip! I’m getting ready to make my fruitcakes ;-)
Was in Cost Plus today looking at all the holiday goodies. My heart gives a pang when I see the stollen because my dad loved it so, even the dried out bought kind from there. He’s gone now 1.5 years.
But they have a bunch of fruitcakes too. Who actually likes fruitcake? I do not like it with those strangely pastel candied fruits. Hideous. However, I’ve had a slice of a fruitcake made with natural dried fruit bits and chunks of chocolate, yes probably a touch of alcohol in it, that was actually really good. Will I ever taste that again? I don’t know.
