Rum Cakes

[Tiiiigergirl]

Is the alcohol cooked out? I would love to take some back for my co-workers but I work for a company that specifically prohibits drinking at even lunch functions and frankly I wouldn't want to test the waters with a Rum Cake in these trying economic times. I need to work to support my Disney habit.

Those cakes are thorougly soaked in alchohol. I don't think they even add alchohol to the batter. It's all added after they are baked. Lol, there's a reason they have a six month shelf life.

Gotcha!

Note to self. Do not give Rum Cakes to co-workers on company time.

And besides... They taste YUCKY!!! They offer free samples in the gift shops in Nassau. If you are feeling brave, give them a try. I am sure some one here on the boards will say they like them. I for one do NOT!!!

I'm a rum cake loving crazy too!!
And we've actually eaten them in my office, although I strongly suspect we were probably not supposed to.
They have sampler packs with three different flavored mini cakes that are delicious.

Oooh..those rum cakes from tortuga rum factory...delicious.

We haven't found a loser in the bunch yet. You can order them online..so you don't have to carry them home with you.

Rum cakes, vanilla....it's going to be a food shopping trip!

How much are rum cakes? I like the sound of the sampler pack. I'm trying to budget spending money.

Love the rum cakes in Georgetown. Coffee in ocho Rios, Vanillia in Cozumel. Am I leaving anything out?

I too love them. I got the little one in the tin and used the tin for the disney change fund. All loose change at the end of the day goes in there. However I just got so used to seeing the tin that I forgot about the cake. I will be getting the large one on this trip. YUMMY! But not for kids because I could definatly taste the rum.

How long do they last if they are still in their orginal packaging in the fridge?

 

[NYGiantsRule!]

I think we got five or six of the smaller ones for $25. There are at least 10 different flavors.

According to www.tortugarums.com :

Each cake is individually hand glazed then vacuum packed, ensuring a shelf life of 6 months, or indefinitely if refrigerated or frozen.

Shelf life has never been an issue at my house... they just don't hang around that long.

They have a 6 month shelf life in their original packaging. They are great - our favorites are original and rum & raisin.
