Island Treasures Gourmet™ Raspberry Rum Cake Highly Recommended by Whom You Know!

I’m not usually a fan of raspberry… but raspberry and rum? That’s a whole different story! Island Treasures’ Raspberry rum cake is delicious. For starters, it is SUPER moist. The flavors are fantastic! Somehow, Island Treasures has managed to find the perfect amount of raspberry sweetness and the perfect amount of rum and combined them into an absolutely amazing rum cake.
Raspberry flavor fills your mouth in a cake so moist you’ll need a napkin, and you’re in cake-heaven. Close your eyes and savor this delicious cake from Island Treasures Gourmet, and allow yourself a moment to free-associate. Island Treasures…a name that brings warm sands and subtle tropical breezes to mind. Enjoy the moment, and then share this cake with friends and relatives and everyone else in between. It might just be the way to bring a smile to the face of the grumpiest person in the office, too. Island Treasures Gourmet has found a way to bring moist and wonderful to your table, shipped carefully in the re-sealable package. You’ll find this cake the perfect hostess gift, and you’ll want to serve it at every gathering of your family from now on. 

Island Treasures 32 oz. Gourmet Raspberry Rum Cake is extremely moist with just a subtle hint of rum flavor. The rum flavor does not overpower the natural pureness of the aromatic raspberry flavor. The mere fragrance of the raspberry cake makes your mouth water! This cake is very moist yet not soggy. A nice way to celebrate this exquisite raspberry rum cake would be to drizzle some chocolate sauce and mini chocolate chips around it...or...you might delight in fresh raspberries atop a mound of fresh whipped cream. Don't know how they can perfect a cake like this - true excellence. A fitting dessert to have delivered to a friend, family member or anyone you would care to honor. This cake comes in an impeccably packaged box securing all the goodness you will encounter!

About Island Treasures Gourmet™
Island Treasures Gourmet™ Rum Cakes - This sweet treasure is made with high quality ingredients to create a Smooth, Moist, Full Flavored Gourmet Rum Cake for the whole family.

We use Real Rum! We put the rum in the before baking so the spirits are baked out leaving a smooth flavor without alcohol. Our Rum Cake is now available in seven flavors, two sizes and a sampler pack. They are made fresh in our own bakery and topped off with our special glaze, which is poured onto the rum cakes right from the oven.

In addition to great taste, our product has an attractive box which makes it great for gift giving. Island Treasures Gourmet Rum Cakes are often served at parties, enjoyed with morning coffee or an afternoon snack, and are the perfect ending to any meal. While developing the packaging, I wanted the internal container to be attractive as well as functional. The re-closeable container protects the rum cakes when shipping, is attractive for serving and provides storage once cut. We have received many compliments on the re-closeable container - just one more thing that sets Island Treasures Gourmet apart from the others -- and it is completely recyclable!

Having vacationed in the Caribbean for several years, we enjoyed Rum Cakes we had there. We would bring some home with us and before long they were gone, and we would have to wait for the next vacation to get more because there wasn’t anyplace to buy them. So I set out to make my own rum cake! 

After about a year of trying every different type of rum, flour and formula, I had a Vanilla Rum Cake I was happy with. We had many taste testing panels, from family to friends to random people at school sports functions. It was a hit and a new venture began! We came up with a name, a design idea, sourced packaging, and in 2007 I started baking them in my house. 

After two years of me baking and my husband selling, we built a bakery and moved out of the house. We were selling to Gift and Gourmet Shops and many HoneyBaked Ham franchise stores. After being in the bakery only two years, we were busting at the seams and had to build-out a bigger space and moved about two miles away. We sell our cakes wholesale to retailers in our Island Treasures Gourmet branded packaging and Private Label. We also sell retail on our website. I have a new website being developed over the past few months and it is just about ready to launch (hopefully within the next week). 

You can find our Rum Cakes in the HoneyBaked Ham franchise And Corporate stores, Williamsburg Pottery, Southern Season, Becky's Hallmark Shops, various specialty gift and gourmet shops, and Fund Raisers. Many of the locations are listed on our website on the 'Buy at Retail' page. Most of the HoneyBaked Ham Corporate locations carry our Rum Cake in HoneyBaked Ham Rum Cake branded (private label) packaging.

Whether treating yourself, your guests, or gift giving, it is sure to be a winner - and with the variety of flavors to choose from you are sure to please everyone. Island Treasures Gourmet Rum Cake is perfect for all occasions! Be sure to keep plenty on hand -- they will be back for more!! 

All the Best to you!
