Second Annual Rum Cake & Caribbean Black Cake Fest

To kick off the holidays “tastefully,” Musée des Caraïbes Island SPACE is collaborating with Caribbean Professionals Network and a number of South Florida bakers to present the Rum Cake et Caribbean Black Cake Fest. On Sunday, November 5, 2023 from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m., cake makers will offer tastes of traditional Latin-Caribbean rum cake recipes as well as the dark fruit cake or plum pudding recipes popular in the English-speaking Caribbean islands, and fondly known as ?black cake” to many Caribbean nationals.

At this first museum fundraiser for the giving season, attendees will be asked to donate $15 per person and will have the opportunity to sample a variety of cakes, as well as light holiday beverages, while Caribbean holiday music plays in the background. Guests are welcome to decide which tropical flavors they?ll select for their Thanksgiving and Christmas tables, and to explore the museum to learn about Caribbean history, culture and art. Bakers in attendance will represent the regions of Barbados, Belize, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Panama, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Trinidad & Tobago and the Virgin Islands.
