  • I wouldn't say anything.
  • Say nothing maybe they really had a hard time cooking this season and its the best they can do.
  • The intent was to bake you something wonderful. Sadly it did not turn out that way. Simply discard it and if she asks about it, you can then mention to her what happened in a nice way and thank her for the good intent and effort put forth. Co-worker: Deb, how was the fruitcake? Deb: Sally, I was really touched that you took the time and effort to bake me that fruitcake. Sadly, the top was burned and the wax paper lining melted to the cake and I was not able to enjoy it. Just knowing all the time and energy you expended was touching and I truly appreciated the thought.
  • I wouldn't say anything, and I doubt she will ask about it, she probably has suspicions it didn't come out all that well. If she does, you could just say it may have been a bit overdone and leave it at that, because in the end it's the thought and the friendship that counts.
  • No, what you should say is "Thank you."
  • Toss it. If she does ask, simply tell her it was wonderful that she went to the trouble. If she asks how it was, tell her that it was one of the more interesting fruitcakes you've ever been given. If she pushes the how was it, ask her for the recipe. You don't have to say you liked it if you go about it right.
