Seen this the other day on the idiot box, found it pretty interesting. How Collins Street Bakery lost $17 million dollars to an embezzler.

It's hard to believe that $17 million worth of fruit cakes had been sold.

Collins Street Bakery Deluxe large is $50.00. Brookshire Brother’s sells a same size for about half that. They do sell other bakery items.

They make some killer cookies. Brookshire Brother’s get like $5.99 a dzn. for them. I’d rather see my money go to Collins Street then Ben & Jerry’s.

If Texas was to ever legalize the evil weed and Collins Street started incorporating it in their products their sales would be off the charts. If weed heads with the munchies ever ate their products they could easily double sales.

Interesting, my daughter bought one of this brand for me as I love fruitcake. Told her to take them off the list of approved buys, it was terrible, like they put everything through a blender, then baked it. Can't believe they had repeat customers to the tune of 17 million. Their product explains why some people don't like fruitcake.

A weed/fruit cake would definitely change the atmosphere around the Christmas tree!

It’s about the only way I think I could do Christmas with the in laws.

I was also thinking about their cookies & brownies.

Wife and I were in Brookshire Brother's Saturday getting a few things, and I saw they were carrying the Collin's Street Bakery fruitcakes. I didn't pay any attention to the size, but the one I saw, was priced at $29.99.

They are not cheap fruitcakes, but are some of the best I have ever had.

They might become a year around treat with cookies &brownies. Could add donuts as well

Title of the thread was misleading. Thought it might be about a straight guy pretending to be gay.

That is a really interesting story. I think there was an article in TX Monthly about it too
