The Fruit Cake Brick
'from an ole family recipe'
Fruitcakes are known to take on lives of their own, passing from one person to the next, sometimes lingering long enough to carbon-date. Now introducing 'The Fruit Cake Brick'. It’s festive, it’s traditional, it weighs five pounds, and it’s inedible — just like the real thing. All you need to create this holiday fixture is a brick, paint, cardboard, ribbon, and shrink wrap. I've given these as gifts for years...people use them as doorstops and paper weights, or take to holiday parties. After a enough 'holiday spirit', guests will tear into one of these bad boys only to learn that it's petrified. Perfect 'hand me down' and/or re-gift.

This is the perfect gift for Krazy Kat--I can just hurl this fruitcake at him for Christmas!

I cast my vote for the Ed Woodham Fruit Cake Brick. I had a signed and dated one for years but lost it in Katrina. At least my children are no longer harassing me about leaving it to them in my will. Every year I would find a different name written on a piece of masking tape stuck on the cake. I just hope that if it was taken by a looter they realize what they have.
Very clever. My favorite!
Tastes just like chicken! Lol
I didn't sh** for a year after receiving it.
Just like my Gram-mama's. O' the memories and the teeth lost!!
I still have mine from 15 years ago!!
These are so precious! i am feeling so moved to whip up a batch!
Thanks, Ed. I use mine for pressing tofu.
Finally, my old Claxton doorstop can go in the trash!
And it's Kosher too! I can't wait to make one of my very own!

the aroma is so unusual, and it GOES perfectly with a bottle of Manischewitz !!! I have enjoyed my fruit cake brick for years and will continue to do so!
I cannot believe you are handing out your secret family recipe. I think your great great great grandma, Dahlonega Gold Woodham, is rolling in her grave. Next thing you know Murry Moss will be baking some down there at his place. Just damn.
he stole that idea from me, hell!
he stole that brick from me
Now I know what to do with the bricks that are falling out of my foundation.
Makes my teeth ache.
This is nice! :-)
