Fruit cake

[TollieKop]

Item Wanted: Fruit cake(s)
Packaging Essential: No
Desired Age: Edible
Location: JHB
Willing to accept a shipped item: No, couriers will chow it
Ballpark/Budget Amount: R100 - R400

So I've been wanting fruit cake for ages! My grandmothers passed away and I just haven't had fruit cake since then. I've requested at the bakery I used to work and they declined to bake them because "high cost of ingredients" - not a proper bakery but a mini chef bakery team that used to do R&D and expos for a large food company. I can understand the concerns of baking something expensive and not having the customers or having 1 large scale batch flop would cost a lot

So if any of you have grannies or whomever that can bake fruit cakes, please let me know. I don't want to spend a fortune, but I appreciate a properly baked fruit cake!

Thanks

So, im going to do this for the sake of having a story to tell my friends. I hustled a fruit cake from CPT to JHB.

I'm going to go around and check for a good fruit cake in CPT when I'm in CPT. Thats the only place I have had a NICE fruit cake.
I'm going to be there on Monday.
I'll get back to you..

Although. I'm going to call around and find out if they will actually ship a cake.

This is going to be the sickest hustle I have ever done. Hustle cake and a fruit cake not even chocolate :lol:


SIDE NOTE: Mods I know I do not have a resellers badge YET. If it is worth it I will 100% get the badge. ATM not worth it for 1 transaction.

I would appreciate that but isn't food shipping terribly expensive?
Needs AC and quarantined container + all that due to health and safety regulation

Please update me on this! Bring some slangetjies with lol

Thanks

HI
PM me with your number, we will talk.
I never do bake for others other than my families,
every year I revive my grans famous christmas cake recipe that she has perfected and used for over 30 years(i make christmas parcels as gifts for them, costs me on average 5k every december ).
Does contain brandy, not shy when it comes to adding it in.

Every year my grandmother would bake her famous christmas cake that she would turn her whole kitchen into a 24/7 bakery come December time. Her skills were out of this world!
A recipe so finely perfected by her tweaks (not to mention the unmeasured amount of brandy😂), secretly kept for more than 30 years. She left a legacy behind in her kids an grandkids, to which i have taken up baking as an escape from reality, just me and my kitchen.

Greatly miss her .

So 2018 i decided to up it a notch with candied cinnamon almonds that have been hydrated and roasted for 52 hours , then baked pecan nut vanilla seed infused biscuits that have been baked for the odd 15mins . . . But dehydrated for a further 27 hours to give it that extra crunch at the same time allowing the pecans to ooze its oil into the biscuit with dusted 1 year infused vanilla seed icing sugar 😁.
Then her famous christmas cake that was kept a secret.
Added dry ice(snow effect) and mint(aromatic experience)to give it that little bump in appeal

Just something I do to show my appreciation to loved ones every year! )
