A flavor from the islands Nov 17, 2009 By Michael R. Beatty
Rum cakes are a holiday favorite of mine. I ordered directly from the Tortuga Rum Company last year, christmas 2008, and got the golden original 33 ounce and the blue coffee 33 ounce. I really loved the original, the coffee wasn't as much to my liking. The original was really moist while the other tended to be more dry. I also had to pay shipping.
This year I ordered thru amazon and saved over $10 on the cost of the cake and I got free shipping. The rum cake itself is sealed in plastic inside the box to retain it's rum content and freshness. I am an occassional drinker; rum, tequila, bourbon being my favorites. I didn't think that the rum was overpowering; yes you can tell its there, but also the flavor of the cake complements it. I think they have an excellent "Rum Cake" and this would be a great indulgence for the holidays. Highly recommended. I will have to order another before christmas cause mine is already gone.

"Let Them Eat Cake!" Financing Available Folks! Mar 05, 2012 By A. Toll "Snackin' Nut"
Tortuga has been a standard in commercially prepared rum cakes and is very popular. They are manufactured oversees in the Caribbean (Cayman Islands) and this is reflected in its $35 MSRP price. I have enjoyed these cakes on several occasions.

Pros:

1. They are moist with a deja vu hint of Tortuga rum-The original is the best in my assessment.
2. The cakes are packaged nicely to avoid damage in transit and sealed well to lock in moisture.
3. They taste good and are well balanced, pairing nicely with ice cream.
4. These are basically presented as rum-flavored Bundt cakes-fluted and sectioned for slicing.

Cons:

1. These cakes are extremely over-priced. For the price, you could not only prepare a far better and higher quality cake but also afford to lace it with a generous bath of rum.
2. Conventional ingredients-bleached white flour, aluminum, partially hydrogenated oils, preservatives and artificial food colorings and dyes. This is apparent when you slice into the cake and need to grab your sunglasses from the bright yellow color of the cake-that's yellow dye folks...not gold rum! I can assure you...There's no gold in dem 'dere mills!
3. The walnuts on top of the cake are sparse.
4. You will need an electron microscope to measure the amount of rum in this cake.
5. The cake is very one-dimensional and could use a good rum icing to complement the flavor and complete this treat.

The Bottom Line: If you have the time, make your own for the best rum cake available.
If all you make are reservations, then get the cake and ask Marie Antoinette to pay for it!

The best rum cakes ever! Jun 04, 2010 By Denise E. Ragozzino
I bought these cakes in the Bahamas and enjoyed them so much I had to buy more from Amazon. These are moist, you can taste the rum and you can't just eat one piece. These are the best ever!

Tortuga Rum Cake Jun 11, 2009 By ShadowSky "music maven"
This rum cake is delicious. I first bought it when I vacationed in the Bahamas and I've been hooked since. The cake is delicious with a cup of coffee or with nothing and it's a very nice dessert to serve to guest.
