(Fr. Alberic removes cakes from oven)
2012 is here and the fruitcake enterprise at Assumption Abbey begins again in earnest today; Monday, January 30th. THIS IS THE ABBEY'S 25th YEAR PRODUCING THEIR FAMOUS FRUITCAKES. A special silver tin will celebrate the 25th year. The first year of production only about 600 cakes were baked; today, production plans to make over 25,000 each year.
Over the next 45 weeks, the bakery will be in session 5 days a week, baking 125 cakes each day Monday through Friday. The Abbey does not bake on special feast days and solemnities of the Church year. The friars from the Prayer Fraternity here are part of the decorating and wrapping phases of production, working Tuesday through Saturday.
If you are interested in buying one of the fruitcakes, google Assumption Abbey / Ava, MO and go to the fruitcake section of the website.
