    well i finally made them, and they came out perfect, the la parfait jars off Ebay were perfect. HE is gonna love them, plus my idea now is to make these as cheep Christmas gifts. I did 3 yesterday 2 banana and sultana bread, and one milk chocolate cake, and put in a pre packaged Chocolate fudge topping.

    What size jars did you get? That same link (ebay) still works http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LE-PARFAIT-BRASS-GLASS-JARS-JAM-PRESERVES-750g_W0QQitemZ170079596902QQihZ007QQcategoryZ83QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem and he does all different sizes
    Save the earth, it's the only planet with chocolate! :)

    i got the 500g Jars as they were the closest size to all the recipes i found on the American Websites, also just the right size of one person.

    just for info but a fruit cake will keep, if wrapped in greaseproof paper and kept airtight, for up to a year (and sometimes longer) :)

    Thank you :T I think this is a great idea for Christmas. I always bake for my cousins and uncle, and am always looking out for something new and unusual - a this certainly fit the bill!
    The fact that it can be made way ahead is perfect for me - I hate rushing Christmas and try to organise everything waaaaay before :D
