Fruitcake - is there such a thing as a good one? What gifts are you starting/thinking to make now?

I rec'd these from a neighbor 2 years ago. What a thoughtful gift. It was fun, because I thought

of her every time I looked at the flowers (And occasionally watered : ) ).

Will have to peruse the website that you linked.
