I bake fruitcakes from scratch, using pecans instead of walnuts, and cream sherry in lieu of harsher liquors. I use 1/2 pound loaf pans, so no one is stuck with a lot of leftovers.
Baking begins in September, through October, so the cakes have time to soak up the sherry.
Business is pretty good, I can do a few hundred dollars or more easily, and still have folks clamoring for more.
