December 27th Fruit Cake
December 27th Fruit Cake day in the United States. This date celebrates one of the traditional holiday sweets, known for its long history and for being a cake rich in dried fruits, nuts and spices, often soaked in liqueurs or alcoholic drinks. Fruitcake is believed to have origins dating back to the Roman period, when it was prepared to last a long time under transport and storage conditions. Today, fruit cake is associated with Christmas celebrations in several countries, although it has gained fame in the USA both for its popularity at parties and for its character as a "humorous gift" due to its dense texture and striking flavor.
