I think you have the word right in front of you: "FruitCake"

You may not be familiar with the English phrase "As nutty as a fruitcake", which means "completely mad" (but in an eccentric, unthreatening and essentially endearing way).

In fact Cadbury's, the chocolate manufacturer had a long-running campaign for their fruit and nut chocolate bar which had the words "Everyone's a fruit and nut cake" spoken over a piece of classical music that sounded quintessentially English (don't ask me what it was)

Springing from this I can see lots of room to tap in to this vein for puns, a cartoonish ("nutty")logo ...

On another point, the price point you mention seems pretty high. Bakeries that are recognised as producing extraordinarily good product are selling for significantly less. I find it difficult to see an economic rationale for a higher price - I'm sure that adding brandy, even if it is large quantities of a premium spirit, wouldn't make up the difference. Perhaps the amounts you are talking about are in non-US dollars?

Also.. several monasteries in the United States, including the Assumption Abbey in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri, the Abbey of Gethsemani in Trappist, Kentucky, and the Our Lady of Guadalupe Trappist Abbey in Carlton, Oregon, are recent entrants in the race to produce the best fruitcake. The 14 monks of Assumption Abbey create 23,000 fruit-cakes per holiday season to finance their less worldly vocations.

The Royal Society Fruitcakes
(The R.S. were England's greatest minds blended together for mutual benefit).

The Fruitcake Guild.
(From the Middle Ages on they were small business associations, since each crafter was a self-employed individual artisan or part of a small craft shop or co-operative).

Phileas Fogg Fruitcakes. (Jules Verne's Victorian character; a precise world traveler of London's High Society, who becomes more 'human' after his exposure to the people, tastes and adventures of the world).

High Society Fruitcakes. (Exotic fruit was expensive add Spirits then include 3 hours of supervised steaming not everyone could afford this longlived English staple).

These few ideas should get you started.

Have fun!

'Nuttier than a fruitcake' - Is 'nuttier' an official guild? If not, make it one.

'Let them eat cake' has French connotations, doesn't it?

Coverington Fruitcakes - go Geospecific..use the names of the lovely shires around England. (use something else than Coverington if you wish).

All I can come up with over my morning cuppa.
