5 oz rum cakes!
Rebecca H.

I so much love this place! I actually first found them at a giant Christmas show in Cincinnati. I had heard of CFRC on a visit to Carolina Beach one summer. So I decided to stop by, buy one or so (after sampling them), and make some conversation with the owners. I found out their connection to Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky. Their cakes are so amazing! It's just $7 for the 5 oz rum cakes ($9 for gluten free). They're affordable and delicious. The service from Cape Fear Rum Cake is always amazing. It's become one of my "have to" stops whenever we head to Carolina Beach. They do have a tent at the Carolina Beach Market on Saturdays. There are 3 sizes available - 5 oz (1-2 people), 16 oz (6-8 people), and 32 oz (10-12 people). There's a variety of flavors and usually a seasonal flavor (Key Lime for July). There are also several Gluten Free options. These cakes are nice and moist with a lot of flavor. The rum isn't overpowering either. I love supporting small businesses like this! I look forward to more rum cake in future visits. I also love that I can order online, which I will likely be doing!

Rum + cake = yum! It's a cute specialty shop with lots of tasty rum cakes! I've ordered sampler packs for family in Wisconsin since these are made locally. It was super easy to order online and made for a fun and delicious gift with nice themed packaging! During Covid-19, the store is just a walk up counter. Good display of sizes and flavors! Every flavor sounds delish and we decided on their Mystery winner-S'mores which was my favorite. Also got the Painkiller which was my husband's favorite. And then a pistachio for our 3rd one in the sampler pack. They were all really moist and had just the right amount of rum taste. These make for a perfect dessert for 2 to share!

My husband stopped in to grab a few rum cakes while in Wilmington to bring home. You can choose a 5oz, 16oz or 32oz cake. We tried a 5oz golden vanilla, pistachio, dark chocolate and lemon. The rum cakes were good but not the best that we have had. Our favorite was the lemon. If you want to give them a try and are not close to the area, place your order online and they will ship it to you.

Small little shop downtown but cakes are nice and moist and flavorful. Flavor options change throughout the year and have seasonal flavors and some that are year round. Only struggle is usually limited help in shop and if around holidays then order ahead to ensure you get in time. Great product reasonably priced.

These were perfect! They had wonderful flavor and were super moist. Ready for more!!!

The box with a Rum Velvet flavor explosion inside!

Not too sure about the other review, but our experience was awesome. We were visiting the Riverwalk and just happened to notice this great little bakery. As we entered this quaint establishment we were greeted with mouthwatering sensory overload. There were some fresh Rum Cakes on the rack and every flavor boxed up and ready to go. The gentleman working was apparently one of the owners and was very nice to talk with and offered to answer any questions we may have. After looking at the options of flavors to choose from, we decided on Rum Velvet. The other choices are Golden Vanilla, Dark Chocolate, Coconut, Pineapple, and Cherry Chocolate. After tasting the awesomeness of Rum Velvet, we will definitely try the others eventually! Highly recommend you give this a try. The location is great and they do ship!

Staff was not friendly whatsoever. My family and I were interested in trying their desserts, however we were completely ignored.

Now I'm gluten free, dairy free and processed free person. I was very disappointed for 2 people two teas and take home munchies was close to $70.00 for two people. That is a grocery shopping experience for a gluten free diet person for two . Yes you can eat that way if ya know what, how and where to find your food from. It's a place I'd personally rather visit once in a blue moon. My Italian heritage and visiting Italy I will cook and eat Italy way! I starred it for its pricing Everything else is five stars The prices are way too high.

First time making an order via this company. Ordered a country loaf, sourdough pizza dough, and a…read morecinnamon raisin loaf. All items were ready when I arrived to pick them up. The location is super cozy with an inviting space perfect for your WFH day or to meet up with friends. Let's start with the highs! The pizza dough and country loaf are perfect. Our family really enjoyed stretching the dough, creating the pizza shape we wanted, and then adding our toppings. I will say try to make it on the thinner side so that it will bake all the way through on the baking stone. The raisin bread loaf has great flavor, however the loaf I received was too overdone, almost burned. This has made it unpleasant to eat for our family. When I stopped in to pick up these items I also grabbed a savory danish egg & cheese and a caramel latte. Both were delicious!
