CELEBRATE WITH THE BERMUDA RUM CAKE COMPANY! EXPERIENCE A REAL LOCAL TASTE OF THE ISLANDS! TRADITIONAL RUM CAKES AN IMPORTANT ISLAND INDULGENCE MADE IN BERMUDA. While others may insist that Rum Cake began in the Caribbean Islands as an English steamed pudding, I disagree.   I believe that the forerunner of the celebrated Bermuda Rum Cake may have begun life as hard sea biscuits given to our seafaring ancestors with a standard Naval issue of the regulation “tot of black rum”. If you add in a touch of rough seas in our Bermuda Triangle, well, maybe the biscuit and the rum just got together, like a well-planned Rendezvous.   Our Bermuda Rum Cake is like a light pound cake with the warmth of vanilla, lemon, rum, rum, rum and rum, often topped with a drizzle of icing made from rum, lemon and confectionery sugar.    The Bermuda Rum Cakery takes cake beyond Traditional Rum Cake with our fruited Rum Swizzle Cake, filled with apricots, cherries, and pineapple, and on to our light, sweet Banana Rum Cake.  Also, we make spicy Rum and Ginger Cake with apricots and a cake to take cruising, our fresh Coconut Rum Cake.   We also offer a “chocolate experience” with our rich dark Chocolate Rum Cake.    Classic Coffee Rum Cake is another wonderful experience; we also have luscious  Bermuda Loquat Gold Rum Cake, a Special Edition for Christmas, all fruit, no peels or nuts, all year long and our getting very famous:  Black Rum Fruit Cake. Truly a remarkable cake, with a slightly Irish heritage where I switch out the Whisky for Bermuda Black Rum; it’s a sit down and enjoy, savor and have a cuppa tea, kind of Cake.   Come visit with us!
