Rum, Cakes, & Glass - One Stop Shop

Inside an old Machine shop in the Royal Naval Dockyard you will find 2 types of art under one roof: one edible on admirable. 

Bermuda Rum Cake Company 

Dockyard Glassworks

The Bermuda Rum Cake Company_ uses Bermuda Black Seal Rum in their cakes. When you visit the location you will be able to sample various cakes (about 10 flavors) ​​and, of course, purchase them as well. 

When you buy cakes at the Bakery location in Dockyard, at Dockside glass in St. Georges and at the Bermuda Airport duty free shop, you can get these cakes duty free. yay!

Rum cakes are never "cheap" in my book. And these are no exception. However they are super delicious and make an awesome gift/souvenir to take home. 

Open 7 days a week, 9-5 
​If a cruiseship is in port, they are open till 9pm!

Dockyard Glassworks features a gallery of hand made glass works of art that range from pendants and earrings to vases and seasonal trinkets. The colors are varied and each item is truly unique. 

If you are there at just the right time, you will enjoy watching the craft first hand as new works will be made within viewing distance. (Unless, of course, you get there after the crowd and you are at the back of the bunch on your tiptoes trying hopelessly to see)

I did purchase a pendant for a souvenir gift as well as a tiny glass frog for myself. The items are nicely boxed and include a little card about Dockyard Glasswords and background on the piece, for instance about frogs in Bermuda.

Don't Forget The Liquor Order!

In between the cake sampling counter and the glass extravaganza is a price list for ordering liquor duty free. They will take your order and deliver it to your ship for you, which I thought was muy conveniente! In addition to the Bermuda Black Seal Rums, they also had interesting things like Bermuda Gold Loquat Liqueur which is made with a small, bright yellow fruit from the plum family that grows wildly all over Bermuda. 

Liquor can be a nice souvenir also. It will remind you of the places you have been and often times  you can find a unique item that you wouldn't be able to find back home or would cost you your life's savings if you did. (slightly dramatic)

I love it!

I love that there are so many things you can do right when you get off the ship.  Places you can visit right in the Dockyard and places you can grab last minute souvenirs at. Really you can knock off 3 different things in this one building!  Score!!! :o)
