The founders of the Tortuga Rum Company began baking and selling rum cake on the Cayman Islands in 1987. Today, more than 5,000 cakes a day are produced at the Tortuga Rum Cakes Bakery, and you can visit the factory and sample the treat for yourself.
Find out more about the manufacturing process of Tortuga Rum Cakes on a visit to the bakery, where you can watch bakers at work through observation windows. You can also sample different flavors of rum cake—including coconut, fruit, and chocolate. Some tours of Grand Cayman give you free time to explore the bakery and stop at key sights such as Seven Mile Beach and Hell, a group of black limestone formations.
