Island Treasures Gourmet™ Cinnamon Pecan Streusel Rum Cake Recommended by Whom You Know!

I bet you never thought of having rum cake for breakfast, did you?!?! After trying Island Treasures’ Cinnamon Pecan Streusel Rum Cake, you will! Okay… maybe you should save it just for the weekends, but you’ll be glad you did. This tastes just like a delicious Cinnamon roll, but even better because it’s a rum cake. Brew yourself a big, creamy latte, curl up with the news or a good book. This is the perfect breakfast treat!
Don’t you love a leisurely breakfast?  Bringing you to a taste that feels like a pure vacation,  Island Treasures Gourmet has made a cake that will be perfect on the table for just that occasion. Cinnamon Pecan Streusel Rum Cake has the center filled with an aromatic swirl of crumbly flavor that lends a contrasting note to the moist cake . By moist, we mean soaked in a rum syrup that leaves this cake deliciously wet. The rum is baked out, of course ( +99%), but the cake retains all the flavor and richness that an island vacation gives. Open the ingenious packaging and the scent fills your kitchen. Have one delivered to work as a surprise for coffee break, and make everyone happy to be there. This cake will keep as long as you need it to , or as long as it lasts. But the idea of Island Treasures Gourmet will remain, and you’ll be ordering these cakes for gifts from now on.
Island Treasures 32 oz. Gourmet Cinnamon Pecan Streusel Rum Cake is extremely moist and light with just a hint of rum flavor. The cinnamon tastes as though it is freshly ground while the ample amount of pecans give a nice crunch for your delight. The rum flavor does not overpower the natural pureness of the tasty cinnamon and pecans. This would pair well with a coffee, cappuccino, hot chocolate or even just a glass of milk. 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!
