Storing Fruit Cakes

These fruit cakes keep well, even without alcohol. Each recipe includes its own storage notes, but here are a few general tips to keep in mind:

Room temperature: Store in an airtight container for 3–5 days. Keep in a cool place, out of sunlight. Let any icing set fully before covering.

Freezing baked cakes: Cool completely, then wrap tightly in cling wrap and foil, or store in a sealed container. Freeze for up to 2 months.
Avoid freezing cakes with frosting or glaze, add those after thawing.

The 3 Ingredient Condensed Milk Fruit Squares: Store in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Full instructions are included in the recipe.
