Let them eat Fruitcake!

We all know what a bad wrap fruitcake gets.

My kids wouldn't touch the traditional version with a 10 foot pole,

 so I decided to put a fun, new twist on it.

I started with white, fluffy coconut cake

(coconut is a fruit, right?)...

and added fruit slice candies....

Simple, festive and colorful.

Finally a fruitcake that screams, 

Eat Me!

And I just couldn't resist some gummy mint leaves 

for a second holiday cake...

They make the perfect wreath.

So this Christmas,

let them eat CAKE!

For these I used store bought cake but my favorite recipe is 

Ina Garten's Coconut Cake.
All the candies were available at my supermarket.
