Wedding Cake without feeding it with alcohol
Asked on 25 Jan 2019 by LoveToBake
Hi Delia/Lindsey. I am making a fruit wedding cake. I see that your suggestion to keep moist is pour brandy on the cake once cooked. I hate alcohol and so does the bride and wondered if it is going to give it a really strong brandy taste. Is there an alternative? Sugar syrup? Woud this work instead?

Hello,
A rich fruitcake will mature over time as the vine fruits release tannins.
I wouldn’t feed if your not using alcohol.
I’d probably make the cake 4 weeks ahead if I were not feeding it.
Best wishes
Lindsey
