I am making a wedding cake but have never made one without alcohol in before! How do I keep it moist and how long would I need to make it before the event? Anyone have a tried and tested recipe?

You can use a fruit syrup if you must avoid alcohol. It needs to have 1/2 cup of sugar for every cup of juice/water/tea. Simmer and use after the cake has baked and cooled competely. Give the cake 2 doses of this syrup one week apart and serve the cake within a month.
You should also look up/borrow from a public library any recent Alan Dunn book because he has a recipe for a very moist fruitcake without any alcohol that can be baked just a week before the event.

Soak the fruit in cold black tea.
Or orange juice.
There's no need to 'feed' the cake after it's baked.
Inside this fat body, there's a thin woman screaming to get out...... but I can usually shut her up with chocolate!
