I do mine in November on mixup Sunday.
I've been thinking about laying one down earlier. Some do them a year in advance but I'd want to be sure to do that right. I kind of like marking it in late November though - part of the build up and all that.

Got Delia's Creole cake cooked yesterday. It's basically a traditional cake but a bit boozier and spicier. Had to boil the fruit in rum, brandy, port, more brandy (I was too lazy to find the cherry kind) and Angostura bitters before steeping it for a week. Managed not to burn the edges, thank you baby Jesus.

I made 20 and 17 survived - the three that never made it out of the tray in one piece were laid to rest in my gob. Bloody hell, I'd forgotten how orgasmic mince pies straight from the oven are.
