I've ordered from Collins Street Bakery on several occasions. Not only are their cakes of superb quality, they are presented beautifully. Regardless of whether you are ordering or inquiring about a product, the customer service team is always professional and polite. In-fact the customer service is unparalleled. Keep up the good work.

Since 1985 I've been enjoying your fruit cakes. These days, I send out a lot of cakes at Christmas-time :)
Added by Linda

I remember coming to the old bakery when I was small with my grandmother on vacation. She has been gone for 25 years now but the memories will always be there! Thank you!
Added by Connie

My husband and I visited the original store on Sunday. We drove 280 miles just to visit the store. My husband enjoyed the 10 cent coffee while I shopped. We really enjoyed the trip. We'll see you next year!!
Added by Eddie

I always come back to the BEST!! There is nothing as wonderful as your DeLuxeŽ Fruitcake!!
Added by Joanne

Part of our holiday traditions now - people feel that if we don't send them a Collin Street Fruitcake it isn't Christmas yet!
Added by Ed

We've been your customers since 1989, and still coming for us and our friends as Christmas gifts. DeLuxeŽ Fruitcakes are the best.
Added by Harriette

My 93 yr old dad always looks forward to "doctoring" his fruitcake for the weeks of the holidays.
Added by Karen

We have been ordering for 20 years or more and can't have Christmas without it, and this year we had it for Thanksgiving too. My son has married and had to have one sent to him in N.C.
Added by E. Treadwell

I used to get your fruitcakes as a regular Christmas dinner from my brother in-law each year, and grew very fond of them. After his passing, I had no other choice than start my regular Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner special.

Love the coffee that I rec with the Thanksgiving cake and I am looking forward to the same great cake at Christmas. Thank you guys for doing such a great job.
Added by Susie

Your products, particularly your fruitcake & pecan pies, are FABULOUS! THE BEST EVER!
Added by Norman

This is my 12th year that I have purchased a fruit cake from Collin Street. I have never been disappointed. I have shared with people who have stated that they “don’t like fruit cake”. After they tasted Collin Street, they realized that they loved fruit cake!
Added by Darla

This fruitcake has become a family tradition. We always look forward to having a slice with a glass of eggnog around the fire. It just wouldn't be Christmas without it!
Added by L.C.

It can't be Christmas without this fruitcake!!
Added by Mary

For more than 30 years I have anxiously awaited the arrival of holiday fruitcake from my beloved father. He had a standing order for family and his many friends. He must have bought hundreds of fruitcakes in his lifetime. My father has died now at age 92 and now it is my turn to proudly carry on.
Added by Peter

My Dad lives in Illinois & says your fruitcakes are the best. Since I live in Texas, I am the chosen one to send it to him every Christmas.
Added by Stephanie

Best Fruitcake out there!

My parents have been receiving this fruitcake yearly since they were married - over 40 years ago!! I have since taken over the yearly tradition, sending a cake to them each holiday season.
Added by Edward S.

It was tradition. My mother sent a Collin Street DeLuxeŽ Fruitcake to everyone in the family at Christmas time. Since she died, I have continued her tradition. Merry Christmas.
Added by Jack

For many years my Mother has sent us a Collin Street DeLuxeŽ fruit cake. It has become one of our Christmas traditions. It just wouldn't be the same without one.
Added by S.B.

My mom began receiving your mail order fruitcakes when I was in JHS back in the mid-70s. This was way before the Internet! She hasn't ordered any of your fruitcakes since then. Not knowing what to give my mom this Christmas, I suddenly remembered how she enjoyed your fruitcakes and so did I. I will surprise her by shipping your fruitcake to her doorstep this year. She'll know exactly who ordered it for her since my dad passed away long ago and my siblings were very young back then. It makes me happy knowing she'll enjoy this special indulgence!
Added by Dennis

Thanks for the quick turnaround! I just ordered cookies the other day and my nephew called to thank me today for them! Said they were incredibly good. Sure appreciate the quality and service!
Added by Geo

Having grown up in Texas, I've been eating your fruitcake at the holidays as long as I can remember. This year we visited my girlfriend's sister and brother-in-law in San Jose, California for Thanksgiving. I truly enjoyed my time there and could think of no finer expression of my gratitude for their hospitality than to order a DeLuxeŽ Fruitcake for them. It arrived yesterday and I look forward to their reaction when they open it for Christmas.
Added by James

Christmas without your special fruit cake is unimaginable.
Added by Barbara

My parents were gifted w/your DeLuxeŽ fruitcake for many years. For the past 40 years my husband & I, as well as my brother, continue to order & enjoy the 'fruits of your labor'.
Added by Travis

As a boy in the early 70s, I still remember getting our first fruitcake from Colin Street Bakery at Christmas time. The can was beautiful to me, and the cake was simply fabulous. Each year we enjoyed these marvelous cakes.

Now grown with a family of my own, this fruitcake remains one of my favorite Christmas traditions, which is always delicious to eat, but also one which brings back such a rich rememberance of great times growing up in south Texas.
Added by Gloria

I've created a tradition by giving my mom a fruitcake from Collin Street Bakery for several years now. She absolutely looks forward to it, and so does my dad!
Added by Leslie

I have (since I was a little girl) loved Collin Street's DeLuxeŽ Fruitcake! After I was married my Mother each Christmas would send me and my husband one. After she died I continued sending myself one, remembering her and her love.
Added by Marti

People who make jokes about fruitcakes have never had a Collins Street Bakery fruitcake. A wonderful tradition and one delicious cake.
Added by Jacqueline

I have had a number of friends say they did not like fruit cake. I then had them taste the Collins Street Bakery Fruitcake and they changed their minds. It's the greatest!!!
Added by Sherie

Yearly Tradition
Added by Deanna

THE BEST !!!
Added by Evelyn

I ordered one of your fruitcakes several years back for a friend. My brother-in-law, Jim enjoyed them so much his wife, Bernice, ordered them for years. As Christmas gets closer I recall eating cake with them and decided to get my own this year. Even if it misses Christmas it will still be greatly enjoyed. I plan to "soak" it.
Added by Evelyn Johnson

I'm looking forward to the fruitcake arrival!
Added by George

Love the fruitcake since I was a little girl living back in Raymondville, Texas. Thanks a million for a great dessert.
Added by Sheila

I have had DeLuxeŽ Fruitcake every Christmas since 1951 which is the first Christmas I remember. I was 5 years old. Love it!
Added by Shirlane

It has become a yearly thing to order at least one fruitcake. As my sons always say we only live once, why not but the best things in life. Of coarse, they were speaking of Collin Street fruitcake!
Added by Mark

Receiving a Collin Street Bakery DeLuxeŽ Fruitcake at Christmas from my uncle Rob, who lived in Texas, was a Headrick household family tradition. Uncle Rob passed away a couple of years ago and with that, the treat with that recognizable label and beautiful tin stopped coming too.

This year, I decided to pick up the tradition that my uncle Rob had so warmly created. I sent a Collin Street Bakery DeLuxeŽ Fruitcake to my grandmother's. She was not expecting it and boy was she surprised! I called her, when I found out she had received it, and she said she almost cried...at that moment, it was not "just a fruitcake", but so much more. I had a tortilla chip business and had similar testimonials. Those testimonials reinforce the hard work and dedication that you and your family have put into the business. Thank you for the avenue to bring someone joy this holiday season.
Added by C.S.

We have been eating DeLuxeŽ Fruitcake at Christmas since 1985 and friends who do not like fruitcakes change their minds after I offered them Collin Street DeLuxeŽ Fruitcake....it is simply beyond comparison. Every year my in-laws look forward to receiving the fruitcake from us...
Added by Babsi

Every Christmas we receive this wonderful Fruitcake from our friends in CA. They send it to us in Stuttgart (Germany), and we would like it, if Christmas could be 3 times a year!
Mmmm yummy, soooo good!
Added by Jose Federico

son deliciosos, estoy en arkansas de vacaciones y quiero que me manden 2 fruitcake!
Added by Chia

I was recommended by friends that Collin Street Bakery makes good quality Fruitcakes; so I am ordering one to try it out!
Added by Gail

You'll never be disappointed with a Collins Street Fruitcake. I've been buying and giving these delicious cakes out for many years. A real fruitcake lover really appreciates the quality of Collins Street Bakery.
Added by Bill

Oh My Gosh, we've been eating the DeLuxeŽ fruitcake for years. Our son buys two at Christmas & doesn't share ! You haven't eaten a true fruitcake until you've had a Collins Street Fruitcake !!!
Added by Brenda

I ordered your DeLuxeŽ Fruit Cake this year at Christmas for the first time on the recommendation of a friend. Best fruit cake I have ever eaten. Will be buying frequently now.
Added by Freddie

When I was a boy my parents would buy a fruit cake each year at Christmas and that was a special treat. I knew he purchased them from Sears and Roebuck catalog but they no longer sold them and one day there they were on the internet--what I saw was what I remembered and I have been buying them for my family and friends for the past 10 or so years. "Boy" are they finger licking good!!!
Added by Jane

My friend served the DeLuxeŽ Fruit Cake when I went to visit at their cabin. It was so good that I came home and ordered one for myself and one for my son in Wyoming. He loved it.
Added by Albert

Your DeLuxeŽ Fruit Cake is the best I have tasted. I ordered one for my sister and she enjoyed it as well. Keep on making them :)
Added by Margreth

My dear mother in Germany, who is now 97, has enjoyed your DeLuxeŽ Fruitcake for many, many years. I think the reason why she is still so full of zest and joy for life is she is living from "fruitcake to fruitcake". She loves it so much. It keeps her going. Your fruitcake will get her to be "100". I am sure.
Added by Leo

I have bought these fruit cakes over the years. My friends who "never eat fruit cakes" are glad to share them with us. Holidays are always times of the year when you can share these with friends. Buy them so you can share them and watch the joy they bring.
Added by Barbara J.

Our high school band in Oregon sold these every winter. We have missed them so much since retiring. I never cared for fruitcakes and still don't EXCEPT yours. Thank you for a wonderful and tasty product.
Added by Rita

As a child, my family started eating (and loving) DeLuxeŽ fruitcakes from Collin Street Bakery. Of course, people who had eaten sub-standard fruitcakes always laughed when I told them I LOVE fruitcake. We had a few people over the years that would trust us and try fruitcake @ our house and many were converted! I'll only eat Collin Street Bakery DeLuxeŽ Fruitcake. There is none that is better.
Added by Gate

In the 1960's when my husband and I were students and lived out-of-state, his parents sent us a Collin Street Fruit Cake in the Texas tin every Christmas season. The cake came for years and I saved every tin. At the time it was always "Oh my, not another fruit cake." However, we GRAZED on the cake for weeks and I loved the cowboy tin. It was a homesick touch from home. My husband and I are in our early 70's now, and we miss the Xmas Fruit cake (signed love, mom and dad) so much. I am ordering a fruit cake because I need it. It has become a part of our family tradition. I will pass on the tradition to my grandkids someday, just to hear them say "Oh my, not another fruit cake", but they will love it, just as we have.
Added by Lynn

I dislike ALL fruitcake except yours! Have been buying it for years!
Added by Henry H.

Our family has enjoyed your DeLuxeŽ Fruitcake for so many years. There is nothing quite like it on the market anywhere. Hard to share but even harder to hoard.
Added by Thomas

It's the closest to my grandmother's recipe. Love it. Order it every year for me and my extended family.
Added by Herbert

I keep coming back for a reason. I love it.
Added by Anna

I have been ordering these cakes for the past 17 years. It is an annual appointment.
Added by Patrick

I have been ordering since 2003 from Melbourne Australia.
Added by Denis

Christmas simply would not be the same without our annual Collin Street fruitcake. Simply outstanding, for as long as I can remember.
Added by B.

In the 1960's I worked for a company that gave us a Collin Street fruitcake and enjoyed it so much, that I continued to purchase them for our family and friends. They are the best!
Added by Anne

I remember this cake since I was a child. My grandfather worked many years in Texas from the 70's to 80's and he always took this cake home to Norway for Christmas. A wonderful childhood memory.
Added by Geri

These cakes and pies are my mom's treat from me. She is 93 years old and lives by herself so she doesn't get to have many sweets. These are for her. Thank you Collin Street for help making my mom's life a little fun.
Added by Andre

We are tremendously looking forward to receiving our DeLuxeŽ cakes - the first in South Africa for us! We have already shown your catalog to several of our friends
and this order is for them. We hope to send you many new orders for more friends once our taste buds have experienced the delicious taste.
Added by P. F.

In 1967 my parents sent me one of you fruit cakes when I was in Vietnam. I was lucky to get a small piece of it. My friends took care of the rest. It was delicious.
Added by Robert

I bought the original Pecan Fruit Cake in the 1960's and 70's for my family and friends, then many things changed in my household and I haven't bought any for over 30 years, but tonight my son-in-law asked me if I had ever made a fruitcake, as he loves them and my daughter hasn't ever made a fruitcake, so I told him about the Collin Street Bakery fruitcake and we immediately ordered some. Thank you for your longevity and consistency in such a good product; I'm thrilled to share with another generation.
Added by Bette

Aloha from Hawaii. My dad sent us a Collin Street tin with the wonderful pecan-topped fruitcake every Christmas. We love it! Dad lived to be 2 days shy of his 93rd birthday. Last year it seemed like something was missing under the tree. This year it will be there...the box with the tin of "Daddy's Fruitcake" inside. Fond memories! Mahalo, Bette
Added by A. S.

Years and years ago my grandfather worked for Collin Street Bakery. There was some sort of "mishap" so every year they would send a fruit cake. Even after his death they sent one to my grandmother until her death at 105 in 1993. We have always thought these were the best fruit cakes anywhere! I ran across an ad in one of the newspaper flyers and I am now excited about ordering them again. Thanks for being such great bakers!
Added by Marilyn

When I was in high school in the early 60s, our band sold your fruitcakes every year to raise money. They were a big hit then and we have been buying them every since then! My 91 year old mom (a band mother then) sends one every Christmas to her nephew in Pennsylvania because he loves it! Thanks for a beautiful tradition and wonderful products. I love the new shop and stop there for lunch when traveling from Houston to Dallas or vice versa.
Added by Larry

My first fruitcake was a gift from a friend who had moved to Texas . Everything I have ordered was of good quality and looked so good. I like to surprise friends with a fruitcake at Christmas. It has become a tradition.
Added by Michael

My mom was taught by my dad's mom to make fruitcake (she lived to be 94). Fruitcake, to me, is a true southern tradition. Grandma made hers with all natural ingredients, some of which she grew from her garden. We use to go all around Dallas and Lewisville picking pecans, so we would get a great, fresh variety. Sometimes I cracked nuts until my fingers were cut so bad, but I knew that the "wounds" were well worth it (for the FRUITCAKE)!

Then I would notice the beautiful tins during the 1950's, 60's, and 70's with Collin Street Bakery DeLuxeŽ Fruitcake and all the scenes on the lid. My dad would drive to Corsicana and buy them. It was so close to Grandma's home. I asked "Why aren't you making fruitcake, Mom? Is Grandma going to?" She replied, "We don't have the time." It would take a week to prepare all the food for all my family that came together during the holidays. Many people came for the fruitcake, both hers and Collin Street Bakery's fruitcake.

Grandma died in 1973 and Mom got fruitcake in remembrance of her. There were several tins sitting in the frig and Mom said "Don't no one eat any of that fruitcake." The wait was worth it. For about nine years "visions of fruitcake danced through my head". Then I moved to Kerens, Texas, in 1982 and drove by the bakery for a couple of years before I saw the Collin Street Bakery sign. When I finally noticed it, I almost flipped my car over doing a U-turn. I walked inside and there were those beautiful tins that I remembered from growing up with Grandma.

For about 11 years, this ol' Texas boy was in hog heaven. I would buy fruitcakes all year round and let them get just under room temperature, just enough coolness with a little warmth...the smell...the flavors...memories of family members long gone, but never forgotten. Each bite was a flashback to days I wish still exist. It reminded me of funny things like: Uncle Bob, Uncle Lewis, cousins, Mom, Dad, Grandma, values, principles, morals, ethics, "yes sir", "no sir", "yes ma'am", "no ma'am". It reminded me about when families got together and spent time with each other (no Internet, Twitter, Facebook, text messaging). There was conversation with substance, laughter, sadness, and people cared for each other and felt the joy of being together...doing things, and going places.

Then this morning I had a taste for fruitcake after memories from the past crept upon me. As soon as I finish writing this, I will be placing an order for fruitcake. I have to bear witness to tradition and memories. Collin Street Bakery DeLuxeŽ Fruitcake is one thing I know will bring back something long lost...tradition.

I am panting patiently til the arrival of the four pound DeLuxeŽ fruitcake. This is one thing I can regain and not lose from my days of childhood while living so close to Collin Street Bakery. It is strange how we let things slip away and never have the opportunity to regain them.

Thank you for all the memories and the DeLuxeŽ fruitcake. It's as close as it can get to Grandma's/Mom's fruitcake. It doesn't have to be a holiday to buy all the excellent products from Collin Street Bakery. I will not forget you ever again and will be buying fruitcake throughout the years to come. I have to go place an order now.
Added by Cheryl

This is THE BEST OF THE BEST. No one else even comes close. This is by far the most superior fruitcake worldwide!
Added by K.

Every Christmas I hear jokes about fruitcakes, and how the same fruitcake, unopened, is re-gifted year after year. Obviously these folks have never been blessed with a Collin Street Bakery fruitcake!
Added by Jim & Karen

My mom would give us a pecan fruitcake every Christmas, so after she died we decided to send one to my brother and, of course, one to ourselves. It just can't be beat! We love them.

Oh my word!!! I received my fruitcake earlier today and I'm here to tell you, it is delicious. It was my first time to order one, but you can bet it will not be the last time. My Mom made them every year up to 1981 when she became ill and passed away on New Year's Day of 1982. This cake is so much like the ones she always made - so moist, full of fruit, pecans, just simply out of this world. Thank you so much Collin Street Bakery for such a scrumptious fruitcake and Happy Holidays to one and all.
Added by J.

I had tasted the pecan fruit cake in Tokyo, and it was delicious.
Added by K. M.

I received my DeLuxeŽ fruitcake as a Christmas gift from my brother. As kids, we used to love fruitcake - what a great nostalgic treat it was to receive your fruitcake, but what was even more of a surprise was how delicious it was! I admit to being part of the "underground" when it came to fruitcake - so many jokes are based on some bad experiences - but your fruitcake has made me come out and shout, "I LOVE COLLIN STREET BAKERY FRUITCAKE." I thank you and my brother for this delicious treat! Merry Christmas and a healthy New Year!
Added by Nancy J.

Many years ago I had a wonderful piece of fruitcake. I never cared for fruitcake until I had that piece. I found out it this year that it was from Collin Street Bakery in Texas. I found your site online and purchased my first fruitcake. As a native born Texan I can tell everyone that they've never had a real fruitcake until they've had one from Collin Street Bakery! I now live in Washington state and will be ordering fruitcakes from Collin Street from now on!!!
Added by D. S.

Many years ago, my late mother began sending me a DeLuxeŽ Fruitcake for Christmas every year. After her passing, my youngest sister continued the tradition that Mom began. I just received this year's DeLuxeŽ Fruitcake and savored my first piece. I decided to share my joy to everyone on my Facebook account along with the Collin Street Bakery website so that they all know how good they are.
Added by Laura

Traveling to Texas a long long time ago my father discovered Collin Street Bakery and the Fruitcake. For about 10 years or more he always had his Christmas cake delivered. Many years have passed since then (probably over 30). Now he is 81 and probably doesn't expect to receive the gift that I will be giving him. We live in Milan, Italy! I'm fond of this surprise and happy I found you on the internet! Happy New Year to you, Collin Street Bakery.
Added by M.

I laugh out loud that this fruitcake can last for months! In my house it MIGHT last 3 days! My mom can eat a whole medium one by herself and she doesn't get sick (or gain weight). Thank you for a wonderful Christmas tradition! Merry Christmas!
Added by N.

Growing up in North Dakota, we would hear the horror stories and running jokes about fruit cakes. After trying this one, they would never have made the jokes again. We used to get one of these every year for Christmas and it would either last weeks or it would be gone in days. After I graduated and was out on my own, I would get them once in a while as a Christmas treat. Some years ago, the bakery that used to carry these cakes stopped and we couldn't remember the name of the company. I just remembered the tin, as I have a number of them around the house. This year life changed and I was once again looking for my holiday traditional food. I FOUND IT!!! I'm so happy I found this cake again. I'll be making this a holiday tradition that I will carry on now for years. Thank You!!
Added by J.

We love the Collin Street Bakery DeLuxeŽ Fruitcake. My dad sends one every year.
Added by K.

I have loved fruit cake all my life and, God rest her soul, nobody could beat my grandmother's, until now! My mom sent me one of your fruit cakes for Christmas and I was in heaven. I will be ordering and ordering and ordering from you from now on. Thank you for my making my childhood memories vivid and bright again!
Added by Diane and Gary

We just finished our fruitcake this morning with breakfast. It was the best fruitcake we have every had and my husband does not eat fruitcake. He is now looking forward to ordering again. Delivery time was great. Couldn't ask for better.

Wonderful cake. Creates a great treat for my family.
Added by Lawrence

My father has bought me one of your DeLuxeŽ Fruitcakes every Christmas since I can remember (and I'm 57 years old). It has turned into a personal tradition between us that I have grown to cherish. Now he's 93 and he isn't able to continue our tradition, so I have taken it upon myself to continue it on my own. This is the first year I bought one for myself and it makes me a little melancholy -- but it is just imperative that I have one, both for the holiday memories and the excellent quality and wonderful taste of your product -- and the tradition it represents.

I have never been disappointed by your fruitcakes and I love that your product has remained unchanged throughout the years. Please accept this as my personal endorsement of your DeLuxeŽ Fruitcake and an unqualified recommendation to anyone considering purchasing one.
Added by J.

I am 75 years old. I have eaten many fruitcakes, but yours is the best.

Your fruit cakes are the best! After having one miss-delivered, you sent me another one, overnighted. My mother in law was delighted as we had not had a fruit cake in a couple of years. Thank you for your excellent customer service!
Added by Nick F.

Collin Street Bakery DeLuxeŽ Fruitcakes are the best that I have ever had! I never liked fruitcake until I had a Collin Street Bakery DeLuxeŽ Fruitcake that was sent to me by a friend as a Christmas gift. I highly recommend Collin Street Bakery to everyone! You must try it! Delicious! Love 'em!
