    Fruit cake the way I like. Fresh and moist with plenty fruit and nuts. Very flavorful and not messy to eat. Very well packaged to avert spoilage. My favorite even over home-made cakes. The real deal.

    5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT FRUITCAKE
    Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2021
    Fruitcake is like potato salad. ("Say Wha-a-a?") I mean, there are a dozen-plus versions of portato salad (one even favors vinegar!), but most of us prefer the one we first came to know as kids. Claxton’s tastes just like the delicious fruitcakes my mother made when I was a child.

    Subjective or not, here's what makes Claxton fruitcakes so dang good:

    (1) Cake-to-fruit ratio. It's about 50/50, although the fruit may win by a skosh. That, IMHO, is the tastiest ratio. (Your mileage may vary)

    (2) The fruit tastes GOOD. Frequently, candied fruit has a chemical taste, especially candied cherries. But I’ve never detected that in a Claxton.

    (3) Low Rent. We know a person can buy cans of inexpensive mixed nuts--but invariably, 50%-or-more of the can will be “lowly peanuts.” Similarly, "cheap fruitcake" often goes heavy on raisins throughout the cake, with showy colored fruit only along the top surface. NOT so with Claxton. In addition to the fruit, it contains a satisfying quotient of quality chopped nuts.

    (4) Speaking of which, as an avid baker myself, I’m intrigued that Claxton can place chopped nuts in its batter, yet they're not the least soggy. I suspect they go that extra mile, and toast the nut pieces BEFORE adding them to the batter. As my mother used to say: “Class will always out.”

    (5) Shrewd Configuration. A lot of fruitcakes are big, shaped like a door wreath or an aspiring cinder block. The problem with either is that within 2-4 days, when half that cake is still uneaten, the remaining portion ceases tasting fresh--too much surface area. Alternatively, no matter how many pounds of Claxton fruitcake you buy, each pound is a separately sealed "stick", like an elongated cube of butter. So, that shape means only the small end of the stick is open to the air (if you fail to wrap it after opening it). Meanwhile, each 1-lb. stick is so well sealed, that it will be delightfully fresh when you open it – even weeks after receiving it. (I store any unopened "sticks" in the refrigerator for a month or more, with no subsequent regrets.)

    (6) Dark Cake Version. I’m of the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" genus. As such, I'm so keen about the "regular cake" version that during the decade-plus I’ve been eating Claxton, I've never strayed from the light, and succumbed to the dark. You’ll have to be your own pioneer regarding this alternative version.

    Johnny Carson, the late, TONIGHT SHOW host, had a decades-long running gag that there were only six fruitcakes in the U.S. He added "It just seems like more because nobody wants ‘em, and people keep re-gifting those six." Well, I've re-gifted a few other presents in my life, but NEVER a Claxton. Conversely, if you discover the Claxton is NOT to your liking (you probably like that potato salad with vinegar, too, right?), please don’t hesitate re-gifting YOUR Claxton to ME.

    This cake is a favorite of my husbands and we cannot get them in our area. The flavor is great and it contains the right amount of fruit and nuts. Cakes were fresh and as good as any we have purchased. We are so happy we can get them on Amazon.
