I liked fruitcake when I was a kid and anything sweet was good.

I stopped liking fruitcake when I grew up.

I resumed liking fruitcake when I started making light fruitcake using
dried fruit rather than candied fruit. I haven't bothered making it in years
since I have nobody to give it to, my husband doesn't like it, and I
don't need the calories.
