Notice Period

We have made a limited amount of Rich Fruit cakes this year.
We baked in September, and the rich fruit cakes are currently maturing in the bakery and awaiting their final drizzle of Whiskey, layers of Almond paste and Icing.
Not only that, but we won't be baking rich fruit again because it won't have a chance to mature enough for your discerning taste buds.
We will have most sizes in stock to buy over the counter, but all cakes are available to pre-order, so we recommend that you pre-order too as may run out as we get closer to Christmas.
All other cakes are available with 2 - 3 days notice for collection over the Christmas period.

Storage

Put them in a biscuit tin and they'll be grand for a year...Only joking!
There's lots of tales about how long a Christmas Cake should last, especially the Rich Fruit kind. We've tested the Rich Fruit Christmas Cake and the Pudding, and they are actually good for 12 months!
This depends on how you store them, the temperature of the room, the light in the room, the number of times you open the packaging. So we can't make any guarantees, but we've made it as simple as we can for you and made lots of different sizes, so you'll have just enough for you and your family over the Christmas period.
If you have any leftover wrap them up in tin foil and put them in a press until you need a sneaky slice!

There's lots of tales about how long a Christmas Cake should last, especially the Rich Fruit kind. We've tested the Rich Fruit Christmas Cake and the Pudding, and they are actually good for 12 months in controlled conditions!
This depends on how you store them, the temperature of the room, the light in the room, the number of times you open the packaging. We have listed them at + 3 months from purchase because we don't know how you'll store them in your home.
