As you are reading all these reviews of "goodies" we had on the 2010 Conference at Sea, you'll see how much you missed. We were supported by many who wanted us to experience their product/s.
Beatrice Baker Co. sent us Grandma's Original Fruit & Nut Dessert Cake for our Welcome Bags. It combines cherries, fresh pineapple, golden raisins, almonds, pecans, English walnuts with bourbon, rum and brandy.
We each received a 3-ounce bar. It comes in 3 and 6-ounce bar cakes, and one pound cake or individually wrapped slices. You can also chose the 2, 3 and 5 pound ring cakes.
It was interesting to discover that it has 85% fruits and nuts to batter and cakes are stored at 40 degrees to ensure freshness and quality.
The history is fascinating as they have survived corporate buyouts and take overs. What started in 1917 by the Lantz Brothers became Beatrice Bakery Co. in 2002. Today, Beatrice Bakery still uses the original recipe. August 2009, The Food Network's Unwrapped production company asked to include Grandma's Fruit Cakes in its December 2009 holiday program. Shortly after, it was featured on ABC's "The View."
So, if you're a fruit cake fancier, you may want to give this a try. It is available in grocery and retail stores, catalogs, and various websites. You can also see the full range of products on www.beatricebakery.com.
