When do you start thinking about making Christmas cake? I made one for the first time last year which turned out surprisingly well 😄(if I say so myself) at the beginning of December.

Interested to hear if people have different traditions doing this. I'll probably wait til after Halloween and then go for it

I make mine in September, soak the fruit for a week beforehand.
Then once baked, store the cake in grease proof paper and a tin and feed every couple of weeks.
I ice and decorate mine early December and eat in the run up to Christmas.
