This fruitcake was a bit too dense for my taste, but it was still pretty good.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my fruitcake turned out really dry. I think I might have forgotten to add the eggs.

This fruitcake was just okay. It wasn't as moist as I would have liked, and the frosting was a bit too sweet.

This fruitcake was a complete disaster. It was dry, crumbly, and tasteless.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my fruitcake turned out too dense. I think I might have over-mixed the batter.
