Assumption Abbey: Ava, Missouri
Assumption Abbey is a community of monks of the Cistercian Order of the Strict Observance, popularly known as Trappists. The Abbey was founded from New Melleray Abbey in Iowa in 1950, in the rugged foothills of the Ozarks, some twenty miles south of the small town of Ava, Missouri. Through the years, the brothers have continued to live by the centuries old Trappist tradition of contemplation and study, private prayer and common worship, earning their living by the work of their own hands.
Each year the monks make thousands of their popular fruitcakes, which are known for their deep, complex flavor that improves with age. Their recipe was developed with the help of world class chef Jean-Pierre Augé, who at one time served in the employ of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.

Super Delishus and Yummy!
Nov 29, 2020 | By Lynda Marie This cake is so rich, I could only eat a small slice! The smoothness and richness of this cake make it the best fruitcake I've ever had.

Excellent
Apr 26, 2020 | By Connie M.I have been purchasing this particular fruitcake for my parents, in law and Aunt for the past couple years. They all truly look forward to receiving it and they gobble it down in no time flat! Look forward to getting this again and again as gifts!

Scrumptious
Jan 14, 2020 | By Anne P.In general fruitcakes have a bad reputation to the point where they're made fun of. But in this case, it couldn't be further from the truth. The description of the item sounded too irresistible to not give it a try. The dense cake is loaded with nuts and citrus fruits. And the rum really gives it a more distinctive flavor. It was so good my husband asked me to order a second one which I happily did.
Anne P.
Wonderful Dessert
Jan 11, 2020 | By Steve C.The cake was a gift for a family member. I received a 'Thank You' email, phone call, and card saying what a delicious treat it was. I think I will order one for myself!

Jan 8, 2019 | By Wendie H.This is the best fruitcake the world has ever seen. We got three, one for us and one for a relative, and one for a hostess gift just in case...and then we found we really, really needed to have that third one ourselves. So.Good.

Dec 6, 2018 | By Jerry D. CPAHave ordered these fruitcakes for family and friends for years. Absolutely delicious and unique. Unsurpassed as to quality. Highly recommended.
Jerry D. CPA
Oh lordy, we love these things!
Dec 5, 2018 | By Wendie H.We get several of these every year intending to give them as gifts. So far this year our record is - Ate 'em already 2, saved for gift 1, - and it's not looking too good for gift. This from people who have made every fruitcake joke there is. Sliced not too thin, toasted lightly or warmed in the microwave, buttered, like plum pudding with hard sauce. You owe it to yourself to experience this. But be warned, you'll never crack wise about fruitcake again.
Wendie H.
Best fruitcake!!
Dec 4, 2018 | By Sandra This is the best fruitcake. We used to order from the Abbey of the Genesee, but they had stopped making them on the premises. So glad we found you. Moist, fruity and tasty. Thank you for making our Christmas season delicious.

Outstanding Fruitcake!
Feb 10, 2018 | By Deacon Jim This fruitcake was so delicious that I had to control myself from eating the whole cake in one week. As soon as it was gone, I ordered another and I savored the second for several weeks. This cake was .
outstanding in flavor and texture. I loved it.

Everyone loves them
Jan 19, 2018 | By Mildred G.This is the way I give most of my Christmas Gifts every year. Everyone loves them. No shopping, no guessing if it fits, no going from store to store, and no guessing if this is the right size? Thank you Monastery Bakery.

Best Fruitcake
Jan 7, 2017 | By BOB D.I highly recommend the fruitcake. I always get two as one is for a gift to my sister-in-law who loves fruitcake and could not find one to her liking. This fruitcake did it for her as she now knows and expects one. So if you like fruitcake and want a really good one this is the place.

Great fruitcake
Jan 3, 2017 | By Peter D.I wondered about purchasing this fruitcake, for it was rum and not brandy and seemed lighter in color than the other offering in the catalogue. I should not have worried. We opened it first, just in case, and there was nothing to be concerned about. Moist, great taste, and full of fruit. We bought one for a relative, and he agreed. This is a great fruitcake.
Peter D.

Trappist Rum Fruitcake
Jan 3, 2016 | By Sabeth R.It would not be Christmas dinner for me without a traditional fruitcake on the table. Yours is perfect, exactly the way I remember it from my childhood and onward for over 70 years. I just wish you made them a little bit bigger so we could cut more cake style portions (equal height and width).
Thank you so much for making this cake available.
