To give FIL a year old Christmas cake?

[Dontfeellikeamillenial]

Hear me out.

Last year I made 2 Christmas cakes, one for me and one for FIL. Gave FIL his. He ate it within a week.

I realised I was getting fat so didn't bother cutting into ours. I had a slice of FIL's and that was enough. DH isn't fussed for Christmas cake, so it stayed in the cupboard.

Now it got to April and I though, shall I chuck it. But never did.

Aibu to give FIL the one from last year? It smells OK. Will it be rancid? Or do I crack on and make him a fresh one? (will not make 2 this year, we're going abroad and I'm still plump )

It’ll be all the better for being aged. We mature Xmas pudding as well as other people have said. Lovely.

We found a Christmas cake in my grandmas pantry after she died, wrapped in wax paper. Not dated, but she had been bed bound for two years. My mum soaked it in booze for a few weeks and we had it for Christmas - it was delicious.

I personally wouldnt. if he was to get ill over a cake, that would be terrible.

Sorry to just dive in here but does anyone have a fools guide to making a Christmas cake that can keep for a whilst would love to make one

Had the top tier of the wedding cake re iced etc for dd christening.
It was about 8 months old.
Very fussy eaters in our family but they loved it - nobody died.
Fil would probably be thrilled.
'Matured' Christmas cake.
Tell him you did specially for him

I can't get over the fact that you have left over Christmas cake!

Misses whole point of thread.
