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.

So let's take a look at the different options you have when you want a Jamaican style dessert for your festive day. Firstly you can choose between a pudding or a cake. Or why not simply have both. A pudding served with rum sauce is the traditional dessert in the United Kingdom for Christmas day. As well as there being liquor in the sauce there will be in the pudding itself. But don't worry about if you can give it to kids or not. Unless you actually pour rum over the top without cooking, the alcohol content will be zero as it will have been cooked.

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.

So after your lunch has settled it will be time to return to the table again. This time the centrepiece will be a Christmas log, preferably a black Jamaican iced one. You will indulge in cold turkey and stuffing and other baked treats such as sausage rolls. So, when will you possibly have the room to eat the baked delicacy that is in the centre of the table. Many times no one will even touch it on Christmas day.

This is one reason you should choose a rum and fruit dessert. The fruit is rich in fiber and a lot more healthy than other alternatives. The way the dessert is made ensures that it won't go dry or go off. In fact, if you put it in a tin it will last for months. It is not unheard of to keep such a dessert for the entire year, many people saying it tastes better the more time it is allowed to mature.

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.
