Jamaican Black Cake For Sale For Christmas And Thanksgiving

By Catherine Kelly


If you are in search of a real treat for this coming festive season that won't spoil and will last for months after the celebrations are over, try Jamaican black cake for sale locally. Known as black as the rum used in it dark in colour, this type of sweet treat is a tradition in many countries around the world.

Let's take a look at why you shouldn't buy a dessert from a store for Christmas. Mass-produced they will have a lower fruit content and many won't actually contain any rum at all. So if you really are going to buy from a store, read the label and see what you are paying for. Pre-packed pastries and desserts sold in supermarkets are not a patch on the delicacies that you can find in local Jamaica bakeries.

But you are still left with a decision to make. Now rum is used both in the pudding and the cake served on Christmas day. So, will you choose a pudding with white rum sauce, or a cold fruit baked delicacy that can be iced. After eating your lunch the tradition is to set fire to a pudding with rum and eat it with white rum sauce. This type of dish is perfectly suitable for children too as the alcohol evaporates.

So, on Christmas day food, and lots of it is the general theme. As soon as the gifts are unwrapped, people will start eating and won't stop all day. A traditional lunch with stuffing and turkey followed by rum delight is par for the course. With all the trimmings and rich white sauce, you will be full to the brim after lunch.

Then for the afternoon, more food will appear on the table. Cold turkey on bread is a favourite in Britain. There will be all sorts to eat like sausage rolls and pastries and jam tart-lets. In the middle of the table will sit with pride of place the cake. But more often than not it won't even be cut on Christmas day because no one will have room for dessert.

This is one reason that you should choose a rich fruit dessert. Because it won't go off, and the longer you leave it, the better it will taste. When kept in a tin to mature you can open the tin and eat it a whole year later.

So, unless you are a master at baking, you will shop for your Christmas or Thanksgiving dessert in a local store. You will have a few options here. For a real treat for the family, go to a bakery and buy a real Jamaican treat that has not been mass produced.

So, how to finish off your dessert to make sure it is looking festive in the middle of your table. The preferred method is to use marzipan and royal icing in layers. You can ice the top of the cake and leave the sides, or for a really Christmas scene you can ice in royal white all the way down the sides too. Icing is easy and fun and if you have kids let them help you too.
