"The Best Damn Fruitcake in Texas"
from Cruz through HTX · host Freddy Cruz
"The best damn fruitcake in Texas" is a hell of a subject line. It intrigued me so much, I replied to my PR pal Paula and asked if Pastry Chef Ruben Ortega would be up for hosting me in his kitchen to bake a cake.I expected a no.I got a yes. What happened after that blew my mind and changed the way I look at one of the world's most disliked desserts.
