cakes wrapped in greaseproof paper stay moist but at the same time can
still breath. Using cling film can make them sweat.i know some people
use it regardless of what the experts say and their cakes are not
spoiled .


Thank you... I can see that reasoning with most other types of cakes and
bakery. However, in my case, sealing in all possible moisture is
desirable, since I infuse them heavily with brandy and/or rum. The
consistency of my fruitcakes is more like that of a very moist plum or
Christmas pudding, actually more of a confection than a cake.
