Frequently Asked Questions

When should I bake my Christmas fruit cake?

Traditionally, Christmas fruit cake is baked 4 to 8 weeks before Christmas to allow the flavours to mature. Wrap the cooled cake in baking paper and store in an airtight tin. Feed with a small amount of brandy or orange juice every week or two for added richness.

Can I cover this fruit cake with fondant icing?

Yes. Fruit cake is the traditional base for fondant-covered celebration cakes. Apply a thin layer of apricot jam (as a sealant) and marzipan first, then cover with fondant. For quantity guidance, use our fondant coverage chart below.
