So do I. Major nostalgia thing for me - my grandfather was a member for years, so a Lions Club fruit cake was my grandmother’s contribution to the season.

I got one for Christmas in 2025, and have just cracked it open. My god, so much cake. Please, take some

    Can I have approx 67 degrees of the circle, heated up in the microwave and served with tinned fruit and cream.

    Thanks! Hard to get a good fruit cake nowadays, but the Lions Club always comes through.

    I am strongly in favour of the school that requires the fruit for a cake to be soaked in strong tea rather than in rum or brandy. I will, however, soak the fruit for a plum pudding in rum/brandy. Cake is different.
