It is officially that time of year when the smells, the spices and the festive vibes begin to creep in. And if you are a Christmas cake fan, or buying for someone who is, you will want to move fast because Coupland’s Christmas Cakes are back for the season.

These cakes are a true Christmas classic. Rich, fruity, perfectly baked and packed with that nostalgic flavour that tastes like Christmas morning in every slice. They also make incredible gifts for teachers, neighbours, grandparents and workmates.

They sell out every year, so this is a friendly reminder to get in early. Visit your local Coupland’s store, or order online and have it sorted well before December gets hectic.

If you are planning to gift one, or save one for the big day, Coupland’s has also put together a very helpful guide on how to keep your Christmas cake fresh for longer. I did not even realise there were proper techniques for wrapping, storing and sealing. You can read it here: How to store fruit cakes for long lasting freshness

So whether you are stocking up for visitors, gifting, or enjoying a slice with a cuppa, now is the perfect time to get your hands on one before they are gone.
