Collins Street Bakery Fruit Cake

[baboon]

It's one of my favorite foods in the world. No others compare that I have ever had. Then again only my one grandfather liked it & he only got truly crappy ones gifted to him.

I'll wait until the wife leaves for her parents to open mine & eat it all by myself.

I have yet to find anything that tastes less than exceptional at Collin Street... every time I head that far East on I-20, it takes pounds of "won't" power to NOT turn off that exit...

If the route to UT Tyler wasn't
Shorter from Canton on 64, I'd probably weigh 10# more than I do now. Was hard the last week going to Lowe's in Lindale, passing it 4 times... only save was my wife was with me, and is on a keto diet.

Roy Rogers and Dale Evans got all their fruitcakes from that place. Thats good enough for the home folks.

Get yourself some stollen and miss me with those fruitcake door stops.

First it was the donut thread, now stollen... is this the 12 days of diabetes?

My mom used to make awesome stollen.

Well... yes?

Dang. Like virtually nobody in Germany makes their own stollen anymore.
50 years before _I_ was born, it was still a thing for housewives to prep (as in mix, knead, form into loaves) stollen at home, then load them onto handcarts, drag them to the neighborhood baker who baked them, drag them back home, and decorate them with butter and powdered sugar.
Nowadays you just buy them at the store. Sadly, German Deli in Colleyville has shut down, so now it's Kuby's in Snyder Plaza, or any ole Aldi.

Potica was the Christmas treat where I grew up. It was ok as I remember it, but not Fruit Cake good.

Slovenian nut rolls?

 

[SQLGeek]

Could y'all quit this close to lunch? *Sigh*

 

[baboon]

Slovenian nut rolls?

Yup. I swear the whole town goes apeshit during the holidays potica.

Just don't talk with anyone who works in the Collins Street fruitcake production line...

 

[oohrah]

We have one in Waco, was there yesterday to get the pineapple version. My wife and son love them, I can't stand them.

My mom sent me a Collins fruitcake every Christmas.
I soaked them with a different liquor each year until I ran out of choices.
Rum and bourbon were always my favorites.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

Throw away the cake, drink the booze, problem solved...

 

[benenglish]

I love good fruitcake. That's more evidence that I'm weird, I suppose.
