    Details

    We select only the finest whole apricots from the sun-drenched groves of the "land down under." After they are harvested and glaceed to add a gently sweetened flavor, they are shipped to Corsicana where they are combined with the finest Texas native pecans, we hand-sort them, and both these ingredients are combined with a rich sweet, clover honey batter to hold the apricots and pecans together. Big flavorful slices of sweet, succulent apricots abound in every bite. Your cake is shipped in a reusable tin to preserve its moist flavor after opening. The regular size is 1 lb. 14 oz., and serves 16-20 guests, and the large serves 24-30. Perfect for you. Perfect as a gift.

    How do you "Doctor" the DeLuxe® Fruitcake?
     
      We recommend a good Cognac, Brandy, Red Wine or Port be used. Simply soak a clean white cheese cloth in the spirit of your choice then remove the cello wrap from your DeLuxe® and place the cloth completely around the cake. Make sure to fill the center hole with part of the well soaked cloth.

    Place the "Doctored" DeLuxe® back in the tin and refrigerate. After about 5 days remove and re-soak the cheese cloth with special interest on the part in center of cake.

    Repeat every 5 days keep tasting until it's just right.

    Happy Sampling!
    How do you store the DeLuxe® and what's the correct way to slice it?
     
      The DeLuxe® is best when enjoyed within a few days of arrival. With refrigeration, it can stay moist and easy-to-slice for a least two months. For longer storage, we suggest the freezer.

    To Slice: Without removing the foil liner, slice with a serrated knife using a sawing motion. Wipe blade with a wet cloth after each slice. Remove liner for serving. Slicing with the liner still in place yields consistent slices for a more attractive presentation.
    How long does the DeLuxe® last?
     
     
    Oh, about 10 minutes after its unwrapped? smile!

    Your cake will keep well at room temperature for 60-90 days. (I always put mine in the refrigerator). If long storage is anticipated then the freezer is the place for it.
    Is the DeLuxe® Fruitcake only available at certain times of the year?
     
      The DeLuxe® Fruitcakes are always freshly baked and available year round.

The Apricot Pecan "fruitcake" is the best one I have ever had the pleasure to eat! This is from a person that used to hate fruitcake until I tasted this one.
Added by Carmen

It's the best!!!
Added by Alessandro

The cake arrived and I must not be tempted to gobble it up at once. It is delicious! And pre-slicing is a very good idea.
Added by Linda

My husband loves this one the best.
Added by Cathy

The Apricot Pecan cake is amazing it is easy to eat way too much in one sitting. Great with coffee or milk. I think it is the new fruit cake for our generation. I also send it to my friend in Portugal and it arrives fresh and delectable great for overseas gifts. Thank you Collins Street for your high standards.

I sent my brother the apple pecan cake for Christmas. He said it was now his NEW FAVORITE DESSERT!!! Now he wants to try the apricot pecan for his coming birthday!

We have been fans of Corsicana since 1980, and before that it was a favorite of my Mom's, who received it first as a gift. Our family fave is the apricot pecan version. I have sent Christmas gifts to Europe and all over the states, and never had a problem. Thank you, Corsicana elves!

My favorite cookie from your bakery is the really thin, chewy pecan lace cookies. My grandmother would make special trips to Corsicana for the yearly purchase of fruitcakes and occasional trips just for cookies. Collin Street Bakery is a Texas icon.

We love fruit cake but I haven't made one in 25 years--since we were gifted one of yours. Now it would not be Christmas without one of your tins arriving on our doorstep.

I have known about Collins Street Bakery all of my life. My mother used to order their Fruit Cakes every Christmas. Such a treat for me to order cakes for my daughters. A bit of family tradition.
