after the Internationl Food festival on friday, i have a new concept of "fruit cake"--- originally when someone would mention fruit cake I would think about this brownish cake that has raisins, other dried fruits, some spice and rum-flavoring, which can outlive spam or twinkies.
On friday, I tasted a Serbian Fruit cake baked by Marina. from it I detected condensed milk, some cake-like substance (reminiscent of twinkies and strawberry short-cake crust), fresh bananas, and pineapple. It was so delicious and creamy. the way I described it (when I shared some sample to Amanda) "It melts in your mouth BUT it's not M&Ms!"
I enjoyed the Johnny cakes, the coffee jelly, and the peanut punch the most (one thing they all have in common - delectability aka sweetness). I liked all dishes served as well.

It reminded me of princess cake, which has vanilla pudding, strawberries and bananas, which is, also, h-e-a-v-e-n.
I think I need to go swim it off, though. :D
