Our bakers handcraft cakes using the finest ingredients. From the mixing room to the oven, our cakes are made by hand. The ingredients are precisely measured and mixed, the nuts are hand sorted and selected, and each cake is decorated by hand. Our cakes are then baked and mellowed to perfection! One taste and you'll see why we truly bake America's best!
Nestled in America's heartland, Beatrice Bakery Co. is located in the southeastern corner of the state of Nebraska in the small community of Beatrice. Just one block south of downtown! I had gotten a small fruitcake of theirs as a gift last year, and since we were going to be passing through Beatrice, I had to go get some more.

My Dad used to get fruitcake when I was a kid and we all loved it. I never knew where he got it from. A few years ago a friend was serving fruitcake for a holiday party and it was individually wrapped, just like my Dad used to get. I asked to see the box and figured out they came from Beatrice Bakery. I've never had a fruitcake that rates even close to this. It is wonderful. Just like their Rum Chocolate Cakes that I've tried. Great stuff!!!

Who says fruitcake should only be for the holidays? The cakes we ordered from Beatrice Bakery Co. are delicious, fresh.and just full of flavor. We purchased several fruitcakes but have also tried several others such as Pineapple Macadamia and Lemon Drop cake and will probably be placing another order soon. So glad I found them!

I have always loved fruitcakes. Some good n some are not. I ordered from Beatrice Bakery a non alcohol fruitcake and it's the very best I have ever eaten. I have found the perfect fruitcake..everything about it..the cake flavor..the raisins..loaded with nuts..no tangy citron fruit.
If you have never tasted fruitcake..try this and you will become fruitcake lover.
I will always get my fruitcakes from Beatrice Bakery. The prices are reasonable for anyone to afford and for me as Senior person . Thank you Beatrice Bakery!

Incredible Fruitcake. Just the perfect combination of delicious fruit & pecans. Never once have we tasted one that was dry or less than 100% delicious. We have also tried a few of their other products. They are yummy, too. In all honesty though, we always crave their fruitcakes! We have tried other Fruitcakes. They just don't measure up to those from Beatrice Bakery Company!

I bought my fruitcake from my work at Bass Pro Shop. It brought back fond memories of my parents and when I was a little girl. This fruitcake is so delicious and moist. It would be hard not each the whole package in one sitting. I wish I got a photo of it before we ate half of it. This screams holiday looks beautiful and scrumptious. But for me its my special time to sit back and enjoy all the flavors in this amazing cake. You won't be disappointed!

BEATRICE BAKERY is AMAZING!!! 🤗
My first experience with Beatrice Bakery Fruitcake was at the Apple Barn in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee! It was hands down, the most delicious fruitcake that I have ever eaten! My husband’s favorite for sure since that’s his favorite cake!
I recently ordered Beatrice Bakery Fruitcake from QVC because I was watching the show and I already know how delicious it is! YUM 😋
If you’re hesitant to order because of the price, don’t be! I promise that you won’t be disappointed! For me personally when I take that first bite, I’m immediately transported back

My order of the Chocolate Bourbon Rum Brandy Grandma's 1 lb. fruitcake arrived FedEx free shipping today, one week after placing my order for a most reasonably-priced product. Just had a few intoxicating bites and will have to work hard to restrain myself from this delectable culinary creation long as it survives hidden in the fridge. All my favorite flavors, lots of pecans in the dense date-based rich chocolate mix with fine fruity morsels -- absolutely divine -- an incredible irresistible sensual blend! This is an exceptional fruitcake and I want to try the Amaretto offering next along with the

I have to completely disagree with some of the rave reviews of their fruitcake. I tried Grandma's Heavenly Trio, one fruit and nut cake, one pineapple macadamia fruit cake, and one Amaretto fruit cake. They were all overly sweet, full of candied fruit made with high fructose corn syrup, and the artificial flavorings were evident. The macadamia nuts were few and far between. I spent almost $50 including shipping and most it went in the trash. I emailed them but they did not offer any refund.

I ordered the Vanilla Rum Liqueor Cake and got nauseous and vomited! This cake is a SUGAR BOMB! The kids got bellyaches like they do when they eat too much candy. You can't even taste the cake only sugar. Everything in this cake is fake. Artificial preservatives and flavors. There is very little Rum in it as it is at the end of the ingredient list-just so they can say that it is a Rum Cake. The Apple Struesel was also fake. No natural ingredients. Loaded with chemicals as well. Never opened the package and it's going in the Garbage too! I never tried the fruitcake so I wonder how it is

At Hadley's in Cabazon, CA, they had little 3 ounce fruitcakes by the checkout stand. So I took one for grins. Oh was I surprised! Best fruit cake I've ever had in my life. I'd give them 6 stars w/o hesitation. I've never been to Nebraska, but now I'd have a reason for going there or stopping while passing through. I don't even care if the bakery is near an Interstate. Very glad I had just the 3 oz. cake, because if I had bought a 5##, not sure I'd have survived eating it all in one sitting. Yeah babeee.

Just got our grandma's fruitcake and it is fantastic. The aroma is unbelievable. The fruit and nuts are large fresh and delicious. I love fruitcake and my wife can take it or leave it. Every other night she has a piece with me. I used to get or fruitcake from another company but now I say, Harry and David who ?

BEST EVER FRUITCAKE !
Thats if you get their Best item, their FIVE POUND Grandmas Fruitcake . Period . (the smaller cakes might be a bit drier ..) BUT get the Grandmas Fruitcake in the FIVE POUND size ! and it will always be fresh and wonderfully good ! If you dont think its the Best fruitcake/just about tops, that you'v ever had, you can return it or call for a full refund . Yes these people are that nice . But I doubt that will happen .. you, like me, will probably wind up getting another one each year after that .. (Claxton makes a fruitcake thats very good too, especially the Dark one

Okay, I admit it: I like fruitcake. Maybe that makes me a fruitcake. Anyway, I have tried many different fruitcakes over the years and some have been bone dry, other's lacking much flavor, and a few have been pleasant. I saw Beatrice Bakery on a food show and it said their cake dispelled the notion of fruitcake as a doorstop or a projectile for post-season distance competitions. So, for this Christmas I thought I would give them a try. Wow, am I glad I did. I can say without reservation that this was the best fruitcake I ever ate. It was moist, flavorful, packed with fruit and nuts
