How do you "Doctor" the DeLuxe Fruitcake?

We recommend a good Cognac, Brandy, Red Wine or Port be used. Simply soak a clean white cheese cloth in the spirit of your choice then remove the cello wrap from your DeLuxe and place the cloth completely around the cake. Make sure to fill the center hole with part of the well soaked cloth.

How do you store the DeLuxe and what's the correct way to slice it?

The DeLuxe is best when enjoyed within a few days of arrival. With refrigeration, it can stay moist and easy-to-slice for a least two months. For longer storage, we suggest the freezer.

To Slice: Without removing the foil liner, slice with a serrated knife using a sawing motion. Wipe blade with a wet cloth after each slice. Remove liner for serving. Slicing with the liner still in place yields consistent slices for a more attractive presentation.

How long does the DeLuxe last?

Oh, about 10 minutes after its unwrapped! :)

Your cake will keep well at room temperature for 60-90 days. (I always put mine in the refrigerator). If long storage is anticipated then the freezer is the place for it.
