Today’s mother and son team of Tropic Sun Bakers are lovingly carrying on a family tradition that swept the Caribbean by storm back in 1936 when their founder, great grandmother, sold her first Black Cake in Jamaica, BWI.

Caribbean Rum Fruitcake – or, Black Cake – had long been the centerpiece of weddings and celebrations of all kinds throughout the islands when great grandma decided that her Black Rum Cake was too wonderful for only special occasions. She declared every day a holiday and went into her kitchen to revolutionize the fine art of creating exquisite cakes.

Word got around fast and in no time, islanders were clamoring for great grandma’s Black Rum Fruitcake which was setting new standards for the “black diamond of the Caribbean”. Before long, business was booming, so great grandma’s daughter joined her in creating magic from their treasured and carefully guarded family recipe. The customer list continued to grow.

Great grandma’s granddaughter expanded the product line when she came to mainland USA with the introduction of Red Velvet Cake, long savored throughout the southern states as the special surprise cake for all occasions. Just a few years later this lady’s son became the fourth generation participant in this delightful business of distributing joy in a cake tin. Today mother and son are branching out with other delectable cakes and sweet rolls, all baked with the finest, freshest, some-still-secret magical ingredients – and love.
