This sumptuous, malty Christmas cake is brimming with sherry-soaked vine fruits, sticky cherries and candied citrus peel, generously dosed with black treacle to create a fruit-filled slice of heaven – something no Boxing Day Buffet should be without.

Each cake is topped with marzipan and fondant icing, onto which our cake decorators create a beautiful, charming Christmas tree.

“Not many businesses will decorate cakes like we do…while its easy to order pre-made shapes or cut them out with a template, we like to pick up a piping bag and create things by hand. It has always felt more personal and special to me. I can tell who has iced which cake, it’s a bit like handwriting!” Danni Greig, a second generation cake decorator who has been with us at the Craft Bakery since 1999.

To achieve the best results when cutting your fruit cake please use a serrated knife with a sawing action, cleaning the knife between each slice.
