Fruitcake
"Charmingly homemade." — Wall Street Journal
At Alpine Bakery, we make wholesome fruitcakes using organic ingredients. Choose either our dark fruitcake with twice as much fruit as batter, or try our tangy (light) fruitcake with our own quince marmalade. Our 1 kg (2.2 lbs) cakes come complete in handcrafted rustic wooden boxes made in the Yukon Territory by a family business. Ideal for gift-giving or complementing holiday festivities.
For lovers of the outdoors, wrapped slices of fruitcake in your backpack are a welcome treat and/or survival food because they keep well and are rich in carbohydrates. Our fruitcake has been used on many adventures, including a Geological Survey of Canada scientific expedition to Mount Logan, Canada's tallest peak, as well as RCMP and dogsledding expeditions.
The majority of commercial fruitcake producers use ready-made mixes of cut fruit that come from industrial farms along with a variety of chemical preservatives. At Alpine Bakery, we hand process chemical-free organic dried fruits. While this process is time consuming and labour intensive, the end result is a much healthier and higher quality product, evident in the cake's moisture and flavour.
