If you aren’t over the age of 40 you likely have never heard of fruitcake.
If you are, then you are smiling at the word and may experience that knowing chuckle when people mention fruitcake. Your friends made fun of it, Johnny Carson has a whole skit on it, and the recommendation to use it as a doorstop is a right of passage for the over 40.
Whether you are over or under 40 it’s time to rethink fruitcake. In theory, who wouldn’t like a fruit cake - you like fruit and you like cake? If there are high quality nuts, hand sorted so there are no shells, shouldn’t it be good? If there are cherries, pineapple, raisins and more that have been hand sorted so they aren’t mushy and are caked with syrup and sugar, why not try it?
What if we throw in alcohol flavors of bourbon, rum and brandy, now what do you say?
So give it a try. This is what we do on a daily basis at Beatrice Bakery. If we can get people to try it who have never had Grandma’s fruitcake or a high quality fruitcake, 95% of the time they love it.

Fruitcake Trends: The Rise of Nostalgic and Quality Desserts
Fruitcake has experienced a resurgence in popularity. As customers increasingly appreciate the art of fine, artisanal foods, fruitcake—especially when made to traditional recipes—has found a new audience. Seasonal favorites like fruitcake benefit from this trend, as shoppers look for desserts that evoke memories and bring people together.
However, not all fruitcakes are created equal. High-quality ingredients, authentic recipes, and a rich history can make all the difference. Beatrice Bakery Co. taps into this demand by offering fruitcake made from a recipe that has stood the test of time since 1917, providing a dessert that’s as rich in history as it is in flavor.
How to Distinguish High-Quality Fruitcake
For retailers, understanding quality differences in fruitcake is essential for offering the best products to your customers. Here are a few markers of a top-notch fruitcake:
- Ingredient Quality: Premium fruitcakes, like those from Beatrice Bakery Co., are made with high-quality, hand-selected fruits and nuts that ensure every bite is flavorful and moist.
- Recipe Authenticity: Many fruitcakes today are mass-produced with altered recipes. Beatrice Bakery Co. sticks to the original family recipe, providing a truly authentic taste.
-
Moisture and Texture: Quality fruitcake should be dense yet moist, balancing fruit and nuts within a rich batter. Cheaper versions often lack the perfect texture, which can disappoint customers.
Offering a fruitcake from a trusted brand like Beatrice Bakery Co. ensures that your customers experience a dessert with premium texture, flavor, and freshness every time.
