The Rum Cake is packaged specially in natural earth-tone packaging combined with regional graphics and custom labeling. Ultimately, the rum cake provides retailer with a unique product to provide its customers. Т  Jason Kline, owner of The Denver Pie Company, says that each cake is still made the old-fashioned way - in small batches. The combination of vanilla and other secret ingredients and then a generous hand glazing with gold rum (straight from one of the oldest distilleries in the world) make this a mouth- watering experience. In addition, each cake is individually vacuum sealed, ensuring a shelf life of 6 months or indefinitely, if refrigerated or frozen. Т  тЂњVisitors to this beautiful region of the U.S. deserve a high-quality, gourmet souvenir,тЂќ Kline said. The original Denver Pie product line originated with Peanut Butter and Key Lime variations. тЂњWe wanted to create a product to encourage the stateтЂ™s millions of tourists to take home a piece of the Rocky Mountains.тЂќ Т  The story of the Rum Cake begins in early 1800s where beaver trappers and traders explored the expansive wilderness of the Rocky Mountains; they encountered American Indians and built forts that still stand today. It was not uncommon for these fur traders to carry a supply of rum with them through their travels. Not only was it used for trading, but cooking too. Т  The creation of the rum cake stems from a legend where on one cold winterтЂ™s night, a mountain man was enjoying some cake, but found it to be too dry. He doused the cake with some rum; it was so good that he later developed a method of immersing the cakes in rum syrup, and used it for trading at outposts all along the Rocky Mountains. This creation is enjoyed and sold today! Т  Kline"s enthusiasm toward his hometown is apparent. Many shop owners have found success with Rum Cakes as well. "These Rocky Mountain Rum Cakes convey a very warm and inviting feeling. They are a delicious and thoughtful gift. The flavor is exceptional! After all, it"s Rum and Cake! What could be better!" said Christine Shamrell, Gift Shop manager St. Regis Resort, Aspen
