Tell Us About Your Fruitcake Tradition?
by Collin Street Bakery

Tell us about your fruitcake tradition? The fruitcake tradition, depending on the source, dates as far back as the Roman times.  Other sources reference the nut harvest in Europe, and a cake made of nuts which was saved for the following year. 

Collin Street Bakery is beginning to assemble its online fruitcake tradition blog, and you can be one of the first to tell us about your holiday fruitcake traditions.  To review our company history, click here. 

If you have pictures on Flickr, and they’re family appropriate, we’d love to see holiday photos with you, your family and your Collin Street Bakery fruitcake.  To view our pictures that we’re beginning to assemble, visit our Collin Street Flickr page.

We’re also beginning to assemble articles that have been published over the years regarding our Corsicana, Texas fruitcake story, including this New York Times article referencing a Norwegian who wanted to send her grandmother a holiday fruitcake.  There is a free preview of the article, however, NYT does charge for full-view unless you have a subscription.

As we compile stories about your holiday traditions, don’t forget to order your traditional holiday fruitcake from Collin Street Bakery in time for this year’s Christmas season.  For those who are learning about Collin Street Bakery’s fruitcake, in case you’re still undecided, read our fruitcake testimonials.
