I was a little disappointed with this fruitcake. It was very dry and crumbly. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This fruitcake is very dense and heavy, but it's also very flavorful. I would recommend it for people who like their fruitcake on the heavy side.

This fruitcake is a little too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
