Since no one actually eats fruitcakes, enterprising folk have started offering some less wasteful alternatives. We had the Inflatable Fruitcake here a couple of days ago, and now it’s time for something a little more realistic-looking: the Family Heirloom Fruitcake.

It looks like the real thing, and tastes like it too, according to the tagline: “Inedible – Just Like Grandma’s!” Don’t leave it laying around though… you never know who’s a closet fruitcake lover, and the taste of foam won’t make them happy.

And it doesn’t stop here! Alongside the delicious treat comes a book for all the family to enjoy: 50 Uses for Your Fruitcake. We don’t know if it includes throwing it at younger siblings, but this is what will happen once the kids learn it’s not real.

How much under $29.99?
Some: $11 on Amazon.com.
