Our recipe for quality never changes. That's why Claxton Fruit Cakes remain consistently delicious. Our cakes are approximately 70% "choice fruits and nuts", one of the highest such standards in the industry.

Our "Regular" fruit cake recipe, a traditional favorite, is more popular than our "Dark" variety; however, the "Dark" cakes contain the same high quality fruit-and-nut content. The difference lies in the molasses, spices and natural, sun-ripened raisins, which give the "Dark" cakes their distinctive, darker color. Our "Regular" fruit cakes feature golden raisins and imitation rum flavoring. The "Regular" recipe outsells the "Dark" by approximately eight-to one, but both offer fruit cake "at its Claxton best!"

We advise our customers to thoroughly chill the fruit cakes before slicing and serving. A sharp knife, moistened by a wet cloth, should be used to slice each cake. Whipped cream or a scoop of ice-cream makes a great topping. Of course, a hot cup of coffee serves as the perfect complement to a hearty slice of Claxton Fruit Cake.

Under normal conditions, our cakes have a shelf-life of approximately four months. For extended keeping, we advise placing the cakes in a refrigerator. Our fruit cake may also be frozen.

Unfortunately, insurance regulations prohibit us from conducting guided tours of our bakery; however, our Production facilities, featuring seven massive ovens, are in clear view from our storefront where customers visit and sample our world famous fruit cakes. Our bakery is located on Main Street, three blocks west of U.S. Highway 301 in downtown Claxton, Georgia, the "Fruit Cake Capital of the World." Come visit with us the next time your travels take you through our part of the country.

Unlike many so-called "fruitcakes", Claxton Fruit Cakes are chocked full of fruits and nuts. High quality fruit cake is our only Product, and we devote ourselves to maintaining the highest standards in the industry. Many fruitcakes are nothing more than pound cakes with a sprinkling of fruits on top. At our family-operated company, we offer true gourmet quality in every Claxton Fruit Cake we bake.
