I followed the recipe exactly and my fruitcake turned out terrible. It was dry and crumbly.

This fruitcake is a bit too dry for my taste. I'll try adding more moisture next time.

I'm not a big fan of fruitcake, but this recipe is pretty good. It's not too dense or dry.

This fruitcake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good recipe. I'll try it again with less sugar next time.

This fruitcake is a real winner! I've tried many fruitcake recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. It's moist, flavorful, and packed with fruit. I especially love the addition of the rum and brandy. It gives the cake a wonderful dept
