Christmas cake feeding advice needed from you experts out there :-)

[pmTea]

So, I've made 2 smallish cakes this afternoon.
There's still in their round tins, lined with greaseproof paper.
Someone I know said that one tablespoon of booze a week per cake is enough (though they are small, so seems a bit much!), but my question is:

• do I take the cakes out of their tins and store them in tupperwares, and feed them there?
• do you store them/feed them in their baking tins?
• how do you cover the tins of so, to keep the cakes fresh?

THANK YOU

When my cake is cold I wrap it in a forest layer of baking paper and also sliver foil. I leave it a week and then feed it. I get the brandy and do a bit at a time. Then wrap the cake up again. I store mine in a cake tin but I'm sure Tupperware would work just as well.

My cake is out of the tin and in a tupperware box. I just chuck a hefty drizzle of brandy over it every week and let it sink in.

thanks both - off to wrap and find containers then!
need to get brandy tomorrow, as all the booze I have left is very strong aged rum and lethal smokey whisky!

Leave on grease proof, tinfoil, cake tin.

Feed with large syringe with a villainous needle once or twice if I remember. (I worked in a lab in another life).

DH makes Christmas cake (I decorate) and normally leaves the fruit soak in booze for days, so feeding is a bit academic.

So you leave it in the tin then Star?

Do you just cover the tin with more paper, then a layer of foil to seal it a bit?

Am picturing you with large syringe now, a' la Jeckyll & Hyde
