What Christmas cake options do you offer?

π
Is your Christmas fruit cake the same as a plum cake?
Traditionally, Christmas fruit cake and plum cake are very similar, but not always identical. A classic fruit cake is usually dense with mixed dried fruits and nuts, while plum cake often uses soaked fruits and has a slightly softer, spiced finish.
Our version brings the best of both: Itβs a fruit cake baked in a plum-cake style β rich, aromatic and packed with dried fruits, nuts and warm festive spices β but made as a fusion Christmas cake thatβs 100% eggless and alcohol-free. This makes it suitable for families, gifting and workplace celebrations while keeping all the traditional Christmas flavour.
