The Fruitcake

I just got the fruitcake for this year baked a couple of days ago. My Mom and Dad were here for dinner last night and Mom asked whether or not I was going to make the fruitcake this year. Are you kidding me? Wouldn't be Christmas without it. However, I won't be able to partake of this once-a-year confection until after baby Isaac is born and not just because it contains alcohol. The carb count per slice is out of this world. There's no danger the cake will spoil before I can eat my portion of it, though. The recipe states, "This fruitcake feeds the neighborhood and lasts for months in the refrigerator."
