You're supposed to make a x-mas cake? F*ck me running! lol

Seriously, The only thing my husband and son ask for is lots of pumpkin pies. I've never made a cake just for x-mas. If you get some good ideas, I may do it though.....

Are you thinking of fruitcake? Anything else would dry out by December 25.

babygirl75

HA! Good point Blondie...

I don't think she meant she was making it now though....lol

Most cakes can be baked and frozen.

Thaw out and decorate about a week before the big day.

Voila!

Doesn't freezing it give it a funky taste? I remember freezing the top layer of my wedding cake (first marriage) and on the 1yr anniversary thawing it and it was horrible! Threw it out. (That should have been a sign right then, but i digress....)

I'd rather make it the day before and have it fresh.

Shouldn't taste funky or funny for such a short period.

(That should have been a sign right then, but i digress....)

LOL.

By: Carol "This cake is a rich, dark, moist fruit cake, very flavorful at Christmas. Try icing with almond paste for a more festive touch. This recipe is started in October or November so as to let it mellow before the holidays. I remember very well my mother storing her fruit cake in an old butter churn that belonged to my grandmother and great grandmother. I wish that I had that old crock."
