Well, I suppose you could use kitchenfoil, Jason.... but the fruits in the cake mix are full of sugars, which tend to 'burn' quicker than the cake bakes...
Is this much like fruitcake in the matter that it will outlive most pets.
I know my Mum's fruitcake has a shelflife of about six years.

gah. I love fruitcake, but only once a year. Mum or Gram always sends me one every Christmas, and I usually eat it up in a day or two.
One time I ate an entire brick (about 4x3x6inches) durring a mid winter move. I did regret it though, as soon as there was any heavy lifting.
I've had a piece of fruitcake sit in the cupboard for six months though. When I finally decided to toss it, it wasn't because it had gone bad, it was perfectly good in fact. It's just when I look at baked goods that can last that long and still be edible I'm actually afraid of it. There something that isn't natrual about that.

I was just curious. I didn't think about the sugars in the fruit. I can use wax paper then...
NO! NO! NO! No waxpaper, unless you want your Dundee cake to taste like a candle! Go to a big grocery or dept store, or a small cake supply store, and get bakers parchment paper. Follow the directions on the package, and you'll be fine!

Parchment would work ... and I've seen it poping up in the most mundane grocery stores latley ! Also , if your wife has a friend who sells Pampered Chef.. they have a nice parchment too .. 3 is right, the wax would melt on to your cake, and the paper would more than likey ignite at that temp !
Catriona, I have found anything I want to float on top, of a cake or cookie, brownie, or the like..if coated in Flour will not sink as fast.. I've used it for Chocolate Chips that I wanted suspeneded in a mix, and have had sucess with it keeping somethings on top, perhaps this might work with peel ..
And ty Cat for posting all these great recipies ! this is a FIND for me !
