Texas Shaped Fruitcake - 10 lbs.

If you think you don’t like fruitcake then it’s time for you to try one of Glady’s; it’s not your typical fruit cake! Gladys’ Bakery has created an original pecan cake whose tops are solidly covered with rows of cherries and pecan halves. Bitter citron, raisins, and dates are left out leaving a satisfying pecan taste mixed with fresh cherries and pineapples.

Shaped like the state of Texas, your guests and recipients are sure to have never seen a cake like this.

Opened in 1972 in a rural Texas hamlet 100 miles from San Antonio and Houston, Gladys’ Bakery is famous for its Czech-style fruitcakes. Founder Gladys Farek, a mother of 6 girls, was looking for a creative outlet and began baking bread, cookies, and pies; however, it was when she made her first fruitcake (and later, a world record-sized, Texas-shaped fruitcake) that a legend was born. Decades later, the Weimar, Texas, bakery is Texas proud, loading its hefty fruitcakes with fresh Texas pecans and none of the usual raisins, dates, or spices.
