| 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. Place the "Doctored" DeLuxe back in the tin and refrigerate. After about 5 days remove and re-soak the cheese cloth with special interest on the part in center of cake. Repeat every 5 days keep tasting until it's just right. Happy Sampling! | |
| 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?smile! 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. | |
| Is the DeLuxe Fruitcake only available at certain times of the year? | |
| The DeLuxe Fruitcakes are always freshly baked and available year round. | |
| Can I buy the DeLuxe in stores, shops or malls? | |
Never, Never, Never! It is available only direct from our bakery. | |
