Our Story

Overproof Bakes....Boonoonoonoos!

Overproof Bakes was born out of a mother’s love to create a rum cake to meet her daughter’s expectations.
The story begins in 2021. After baking a traditional birthday cake for my daughter’s 30th birthday, she upped the ante and asked for the next one to be a rum cake! Pleasing my daughter is no easy task …. she loves sweet treats and is extremely fussy. My first attempt at this traditional Jamaican treat was OK but could certainly, even by my personal standards be improved.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your cake will stay fresh for seven days without refrigeration. As the alcohol preserves the cake, your order can last a lot longer than that if you are able to store it in an an airtight container to keep it moist. I also recommend storing your cake in the fridge or even freezing it if you want to! Your cake will taste the most flavoursome at room temperature or warmed.

Most of the rum is cooked off during the baking process. More rum is applied to the cake afterwards, so the rum content of your cake will vary depending on the strength you select (e.g. Rummy, Rummier or Rummiest). Your cake is not appropriate for children or those with religious alcohol restrictions.

Overproof Bakes rum cakes contain egg, wheat (gluten) and sulphites. May contain traces of cereals containing nuts, peanuts and soya. Overproof Bakes are cooked in a kitchen which has nut products.
