Cake Baker in Montego Bay or Rose Hall?

[Jenna in Jamaica]

Is it just me or does that seem so expensive? The cakes are really pretty though.

The cakes are a steal compared to the prices found in the US. Have you looked at the prices in your area? Cakes start at $9 a slice near me for the most basic cake.

hi Kris, if your guests like alcohol they will enjoy the rum cake. for those who dont drink they may find the taste too strong as the fruits used in the cake tend to be soaked in alcohol for a long period of time. not sure if you can tell the baker to go easy on the liquor so the flavour will be more mild

what about traveling with the cake from the states? how do you think that could work? i have a friend who makes cakes in NY.  do you think she'll be able to decorate it in the hotels kitchen if we travel with the cake itself.. not decorated?

@ Soon to be Mrs Ray, I dont think thats a good idea ... my SIL got married in JA in 05/2010 and her dad has a bakery in FL. So he baked the traditional Jamaican rum cake and brought down undecorated. They actually went with the Hotel 2 tier cake in their package ... her dad tried to decorate the cake but the icing was melting and the hotel kitchen would not allow them to do the decorating since it could be a liability issue ?! So my advice is to find a local cake baker in Jamaica whose work, price and decorations you like and go with them.
