When do most people start making their Christmas desserts?

Answer 1

The answer depends on the sort of dessert being made. Heavy, traditional fruitcakes can be made up to three months in advance, which means they might be baked in October or even September. Other sturdy sweets such as ginger cookies or rum cakes can also be made months in advance and stored in airtight tins. Light cakes and delicate cookies, pies and other pastries must be made within a week, days or even a few hours before they are served, depending on the specific pastry.
