Rum Cakes

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!

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.

available in ABC (chain) liq' stores all over Florida ....

yes, you can bring them back with you

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.

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.

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

Make a stop at the Tortuga store in GC. They give out samples for you to try.

They are really, really good. I typically don’t like cake with any type of liquor but these are yummy.

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.

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?

haha...reminds me of a woman I ran into in Marshall's Home Goods. 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.

I'ts been my experience that once opened they never last long enough to get moldy!!!

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!
