This is a traditional Christmas fruitcake. Its shape, apparently, is meant to resemble the baby Jesus swaddled in a blanket in the manger. I have to admit, I'm not sure I see that. I have to say it's quite a nice fruitcake-y bread. I think it's more bread like than most fruitcakes, though I don't see that as a bad thing. It's quite heavy and dense and quite sweet (but only because of the layer of powdered sugar on the outside) and nicely fruited. It's certainly not my favorite thing from the viennoiserie unit, but it's not bad by any means.
