So... I am thinking of doing Rum Cake Favors since FH is from Barbados I want to incorporate his culture also...
We are having Italian pastries on the tables at dessert so I figure they can take something from Barbados home with them.
It would be the typical light colored rumcake, because black rum cake I think is too much of an acquired taste.
Has anyone done or seen this??? and if so where did you purchase the rum cakes... and did you do 1 per couple? or 1 per person.
Also for my July wedding, how soon ahead of time can I order them?
Thanks in advance!

Can anyone tell me what you wrapped the cake in before putting it in the favor box?
I think you would wrap in in cookie sheet type paper so that it doesn't stick.

I know tortuga cakes come vacuum wrapped in little tortuga boxes. Well, at least the ones I bought while i was in the caribbean. I would suggest just keeping them in their boxes and wrapping them in nice paper.
My grandmother is actually making the cake for me. I wasn't sure what I should wrap it in before putting it in the box, colored foil, wax paper, etc

Does cookie sheet wrap easily or would I have to tape it? I'll have to try it with this to see how it looks.

I just used wax paper & then put them in the box.
ETA: My Aunt ( really dad's cousin) made my black/rum cake.

Re: Rum Cake Favors
I was at a craft show last christmas time and there was a person there that made: Amaretto, butterschnapps pecan, chocolate kahlua, fuzzy navel,, harvey wallbanger and Island rum cakes!!! They were awesome!!! She baked them right into the mason jars!!! She did small ones in baby food jars that would be more for like a bridal or baby shower!!! I thought what a great idea it was!!! I just looked but she doesn't have a website. I know she told us they stayed fresh for 6 months!!!! My mom had one that was older than that and it was still good!!!!
