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

I'm thinking if it's your first I'd start around October 1st. If you're unsure this time. Next year if you want to make one and whether how good this years tasted, I'd start adding on the months to soak it.

I hope that helped.

I'll have to see when I have some spare time. Most of the recipes say to do it in October, really I wanted to just check if I did it now it wouldn't be too soon. Don't know when I'll make it, I'll just have to see when I have the time and the ingredients in, as long as its between now and October should be fine

But wow, sounds like a rather complicated process. I don't think that I could eat a cake that I know is months old

If you ever get chance to try one (a shop bought one) I would, they do taste really good.

I would try one. But I refuse to consume any from of alcohol nowadays!
I CERTAINLY wouldn't trust a year old 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.
