The Bermuda Rum Cake Factory
The island of Bermuda
is notorious for its unique mix of Caribbean and British influences that have
become ingrained into the country’s distinct heritage. This blend of cultures
makes for a delectable desert made way by the “Bermuda Rum Cake Company”.
Rum cake or “black cake” as some call it, is a delicacy that
many West Indians enjoy. Despite not being located in the Caribbean, the
Bermuda Rum Cake Company takes a unique spin on a Caribbean favorite through
its wide assortment of flavors. With over ten delicious flavors to choose from,
feel free to sample them all. I tried every flavor at least three times and
still found it difficult to choose a favorite. Every cake, regardless of the flavor,
was light, moist, and absolutely enjoyable.
Located in Royal Naval Dockyard, Bermuda, the factory is
perfectly situated in a tourist friendly location surrounded by beaches, shops
and restaurants.
Its interior resembles an ice cream shop except behind the glass counter is an array of rum cake flavors. With all those flavors to choose from, I didn’t know where to start so I decided to try them all. From the decadent “Chocolate”, to the sweet “Rum Swizzle” or even “Coconut”; each cake perfectly combined Gosling’s Black Seal rum and the many enticing flavors. Baked daily, the black seal rum preserves the cake, preventing it from
spoiling.
The employees were friendly and extremely patient with me. I
admit, having sampled all the flavors multiple times, I had a difficult time deciding
which cake I wanted to purchase.
The Company sells its cakes in three different sizes: small,
medium and large or if you really can’t make up your mind. You can get a
variety pack which includes nine different flavors of rum cake. This was a
perfect suggestion for people like me who couldn’t decide which cake to buy.
The standard prices range from $14.95 US dollars to $42
depending on the size of the cake; however cakes for special occasions such as
weddings may vary. Regardless of the flavor you decide to try, any cake paired
with a can of ginger beer is a great way to bring back a taste of Bermuda.
