I just read about wax paper vs parchment paper and all articles advise never heat wax paper. Can you explain why this recipe calls for wax paper and what benefit or affect it will have in the preparation of this fruit cake. Articles also mentioned baking with wax paper will ruin your pan, too. I am open to explanation and love to know the how-to and why old methods were used when everyone could not get parchment paper or newer, often more expensive, products. Thank you so much for offering such entertaining articles and recipe ideas.
