Jimorel Posted February 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Two questions about Rum Cakes. First, are they expensive and Second, can you bring them back to the United States to give as gifts? Thank you in advance for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lajbec Posted February 18, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 18, 2018 We don't buy any to bring back with us. We don't want the hassle of hauling them back. The Tortuga cakes are the same price shipped on Amazon. Sent from my SM-G950U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maureencruiser Posted February 18, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 18, 2018 No, they are not expensive, you can buy six packs either on the ship or at ports, they cost like 36 dollars, have a few different flavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimorel Posted February 22, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Thank You for the replies! I want to taste them before I buy any, but I have heard that they are quite tasty. Will be there in no time at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be there in no time at all. YES !! very tasty ! But, it's been my experience that once opened they tend to 'mold' very fast:eek: Perhaps, that's because they're 'all-natural' (No additives=think twinkies, which wouldn't 'go bad' in twenty years).And the rum?? Makes 'em EXTRA yummy ! Of course, this is IMHO.;p Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lajbec Posted February 22, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Make a stop at the Tortuga store in GC. They give out samples for you to try. Sent from my SM-G950U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helencruising Posted March 14, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 14, 2018 They are really, really good. I typically don’t like cake with any type of liquor but these are yummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite agree, we purchased a six pack sampler and gave two away to our children. Monday we opened the Key Lime and savored every bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishing on a star Posted March 16, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Thanks Jimoral!!!! If we are lucky enough to finally board the Regal and enjoy a day on GC, we might have to try to find some of these... Or, maybe just mail-order??? Don't know how well they might ship?

She was going to Portugal and was "pre-buying" her souvenirs...pottery made in Portugal. Her family and friends never knew otherwise and she didn't have to worry about packing it in her suitcase.

TravellingBritNY Posted April 12, 2018 #14 Share Posted April 12, 2018 And, in terms of another recommendation - something to drink with the rum cake? Rum Cream! It's like a rum-based Baileys. Drink it like you would Baileys (over ice, etc). I find it is the absolute BEST thing to drink with Rum cake! It's not very widespread in many countries outside of the Carribbean, but well worth finding!
