Gift Idea

My sister-in-law, Emily makes rum cakes every year around Christmas and I loved the tradition b/c a bundt cake is so pretty, so I now do it as well. I give a bottle of rum and rum cake to my boss and it also makes a great gift for neighbors, co-workers, friends or hostess gifts etc. Give it a try! YUMMY! Christmas is just 5 days away.
