A Complete Fruitcake

Referring to someone as a 'complete fruitcake' where I come from is not to be undertaken lightly. It is by no means a term of approbation. Which is a bit puzzling considering how deeply wonderful a fine fruitcake actually is. Over the weekend the Missus made it her business to produce the perfect fruitcake, based on a new recipe and slight change of technique. Gentle Reader, let me assure you she succeeded - a fact which is all the more remarkable when you consider the previous version was already perfect. Is it possible to go beyond perfection? Alas, not in our sadly fallen, sublunary world. But can you double perfection? Oh yes, and I have the evidence to prove it. (Or, rather, had it, as both fruitcakes have a way of quickly disappearing.)
