(famously delicious Assumption Abbey fruitcakes)
The baking season for the 2013 year at Assumption Abbey has begun; each day Monday through Friday the monks and their helpers make 125 cakes -- 625 cakes per week. The Franciscans from here at the Prayer Fraternity help with the decorating and the wrapping phase of the operations Tuesday through Saturday. One of the friars is there each day as part of the working team.
The goal again for the year is 25,000 cakes. That takes about 45 weeks and should be completed by early December. If you would like to order a cake, you can do so online by going to www.assumptionabbey.org and going to the fruitcake link. You can also call the Abbey at 417 - 683 - 5110 and ask for the bakery line.
Last year the cakes were sold out by early December; be advised to order early.
