thank you browngirl!

The kind and generous browngirl sent me a box of home-made fruitcakes, beautifully decorated. She does wonderful things with baked goods, and I'm savoring them. :-)

A first look into the box.

Second layer!

The whole collection.

This one has a "gooey" batter (molasses?), and I think I tasted crystalized ginger.

This one has a more cake-like batter with ample raisins (among things).

It broke, but it didn't shatter so I could still see what it was and re-assemble it. (It slipped in the picture, which I hadn't noticed at the time.) And the other one was intact! (I suspected those stars were intentional, too.)

I don't know what else you could have done with the packaging; these were carefully wrapped and well-padded when I opened the box. I'm glad you took pictures before sending them out, 'cause you just never know what'll happen in transit. I'm glad the leaves/flowers came through -- and that blue "cone" on the one is cute.

Ah, citron! I should have guessed that. (That one is really yummy. I love ginger. :-) )
