[Best time to make a Christmas cake]

I've decided I'm making a Christmas cake this year, I've found plenty of recipes and am going to soak the fruit the day before as lots of recipes have had this tip.

 

All I want to know really is when is the best time to bake it, I'm thinking October time, but would it be nicer or not as nice if I started it now. I know you have to feed it every few weeks with brandy after making. Just can't decide when to start it

 

 

In my opinion October is the best time to bake it. Every year i will start from October first. I think its really a good and enough time to start planning for Christmas celebrations.
