Genius Loci comment : Gilly's cakes are superb, juicy, moist and full of fruit. we absolutely love them.
Delicious hand baked fruitcakes. Fine quality ingredients, locally
sourced, free range
where possible, are combined with a ‘tot’ and time to mature, to create
a luxury eating
experience.
Four types of cake are available, in three sizes. Speciality cakes may
be available upon
request and to individual requirements. At Festive times, cake toppings
can be more
luxurious; using crystallised pear, pineapple, orange and fig.

Gears Farmhouse Fruitcake: "Luxury Fruitcake with Cranberries and Port". A light moist cake packed with delicious vine fruits, cranberries and natural glace cherries. The cake is allowed to mature for three to four weeks, during which time it is ‘fed’ with Port. |
 |
Golden Fruitcake: "Luxury Fruitcake with Crystallised Ginger and
Brandy". The lovely golden colour of this cake comes from the wonderful mix of different vine fruits, crystallised ginger and pineapple. The cake is matured for three to four weeks, during which time it receives a generous tot of Brandy. |
 |
Penzance Pirate Fruitcake: "Luxury Fruitcake with Raisins, Papaya and
Rum" A rich, moist cake packed with juicy raisins, sultanas, papaya and pineapple. Whilst the cake matures it is given a good 'tot' of Rum. There are no nuts in this recipe. |

Gluten / Wheat free Fruitcake: "Luxury cake made with Gram flour,
sultanas and prunes. A moist cake made with Gram flour and a reduced amount of fruit sugar. Packed with juicy sultanas, prunes,un-sulphurated apricots and a 'tot' of Brandy, this tasty cake can be enjoyed by everyone |
All cakes are baked on a small scale to retain that special farmhouse
character. After
baking each cake is carefully and regularly ‘fed’ with their appropriate spirit
and given
time to mature. Cakes are usually sold undecorated, however they can be
decorated
with wonderful glacé fruits and nuts to create a luxury eating experience.
