In 1928 Carl Drake opened Drake's Bakery on Massachusetts Street in downtown Lawrence, Kansas. Carrying on a Drake family tradition, the bakery produced high quality products with specialties including Orange Chiffon Cake, Chocolate Macaroon Cake, and Boston Brown Bread. Drake's Fruitcake was also one of these specialties, and an annual item of great appeal. For 35 years the cake was sold in the bakery, orders were taken and the fruitcake was mailed across the country. Returning to the market in 1995, Drake's Fruitcake is again a holiday tradition, and we welcome you to share in this by ordering fruitcakes for your entertainment and gift giving.
Fruitcakes are available in one pound and one and one-half pound loaves.
We welcome corporate orders and personal gift orders. Each fruitcake is sealed in an airtight wrapper, placed in a sturdy gift box, and enclosed with a Special gift card. A pamphlet which describes the history of Drake's Fruitcake is also included with the cake. Prices are never shown in this literature. Drake's Fruitcake is part of the Southwest and More family that specializes in American Indian Jewelry and Fine Arts.
