Please understand that my folly began right after Christmas 2023. Some fruitcakes are seasonal and start to come out as early as October. I do pay for all of my cakes and do not represent any company. I have listed 16 cakes which I reviewed this year. This was not a contest but I do have them listed by my preferences with a few word summaries. It seemed to me the better cakes had the short ingredient list without added preservatives. I found a lot of these cakes through Google searches and some by recommendations by readers. I am not sure what I have in store for 2025 but I do have some fruitcakes that did not make this year\u2019s list which I will share later.
