"I watched this recipe 3 years ago and this is the best fruit cake. The cake comes out great and my husband is so proud of the cake. I usually buy small cake use and throw pans and bake mutiple cakes for friends and family. I buy the cake pans from Central Market. Also I buy the cake gift box from Williams Sonoma to pack the cakes. They look and taste very expensive. I do variations in the fruits and nuts as well. Also I spray different types of liquer every year. This is going to be my third year of fruit cakes. Thanks Alton- You are the best.
