Christmas Fruitcake Pt1: Mixing, Baking & Feeding | Cupcake Jemma
JEMMA IS HERE!!! And it's time to make your Christmas Fruitcake! Yes, Christmas is still a way off but if you want a perfectly moist Christmas Fruitcake it's time to get baking so that you can spend a few weeks feeding it (with booze of course) to make it not just moist but to enhance all of those Christmassy flavours. But of course if you leave it late that's no problem either, you will still have a delicious Christmas Fruitcake.
Our Christmas Fruitcake Kits have sold out for this year, but you can still browse a range of great Christmas Bake at Home gifts at
