In the late 1980's, I worked for a small family business in Noosa, Queensland, Australia.
Every Christmas, the owner's wife would bake these incredibly moist Christmas fruit cakes that were simply irresistible !

When I asked for the recipe, she explained that it wasn't just about the ingredients;
it was the container she used to bake them in and to my surprise, her secret was a timber cake box. 

I couldn't believe it at first, that you could bake in a wooden box. For years now, my husband has been making these timber cake boxes for me.
I've tested them time and time again, and every time the result is the same;
an incredibly moist cake, whether it's a traditional fruit cake or ​a chocolate mud cake. 

I'm still amazed by this method of baking and I've witnessed the same reaction from others when they taste cakes I've baked in these boxes.
Their responses are always the same;
"I can't believe this was baked in a wooden box!"
"Are you sure this was baked in a wooden box?"
"If I hadn't seen it myself, I wouldn't have believed it."

Now, I invite you to experience the art of timber cake box baking for yourself.
My handmade timber cake boxes, crafted from sustainable hoop pine, are environmentally friendly and durable. 
Once you own one, it will last for many years; unless of course, you decide you want one in every size !
