Tortuga Rum Cake goes to the Bahamas

Friday, November 18, 2005

Known as one of the premier exports of the Cayman Islands, Tortuga Rum Cake has now reached the Bahamas.

Last month a rum cake shop and bakery opened at 10 Frederick Street, in the heart of Nassau�s duty-free shopping district. Greeted by the sweet smell of rum cakes, visitors can see authentic Tortuga Rum Cakes being baked, sample the many delicious flavors, and shop for Caribbean gourmet gifts and souvenirs.

Made from a four generations old family recipe, Tortuga Rum Cakes were introduced in the Cayman Islands nearly twenty years ago. Today, this family owned business has 17 retail locations and three bakeries in Grand Cayman as well as franchise bakeries in Jamaica, Barbados and now the Bahamas.

�Our rum cakes are a true taste of the Caribbean,� says Robert Hamaty, who founded the Tortuga Rum Company in Grand Cayman in 1984. �With the opening of Tortuga Bahamas, more island visitors can enjoy our original and authentic gourmet tropical treats.�

The cakes are baked fresh daily using only the finest natural ingredients and a special, aged five-year-old blend of Tortuga Gold Rum. Every Tortuga Rum Cake is hand glazed before being vacuum packed and heat sealed � locking in freshness and extending the shelf life to six months, or indefinitely if refrigerated or frozen. Flavors include original golden with walnuts, chocolate, coconut, Blue Mountain coffee, banana, key lime and pineapple.

Tortuga Caribbean Rum Cakes were named the 2005 best cruise souvenir by Porthole Cruise Magazine. They are sold in onboard gift shops of over 100 cruise ships and in gift and gourmet shops throughout the Caribbean and North America. The complete line can be ordered online at www.tortugarums.com or by calling toll free 1-800-444-0625.
