turned out fine - smelled heavenly. how would you all store ? freeze or cold cellar? wrap in plastic wrap & foil? thanks!

I would be certain to freeze this fruit cake. There doesn't seem to be enough alcohol to store it in a cold cellar like a heavy traditional fruitcake. The recipe certainly sounds good and looks like it will freeze well.
