I hear Claro's Italian Market in San Gabriel does a great rum cake. I almost picked one up on saturday, but it lost out to some cannoli and sfogliatelle. I'm not sure what a Vickman Bakery rum cake is like, but might Claro's do?

Claro's is an old school Italian market. Their four locations are located in the general San Gabriel Valley area. Don't know if this is at all within reach of your family, but here's Claro's website for them to check out the locations:

I'm interested, too. I used to work downtown, many a moon ago, and Vickman's was the best. Every birthday, every event, a Vickman's cake, and sometimes rum cake, was brought in. Nothing like it.

I dearly miss the Chocolate Rum Torte from Sarno's Bakery? Has anyone had both the Sarno's Chocolate Rum Torte and Vickman's rum cake? Were they similar? If so, I would be very interested in trying the Vickman's rum cake.

Could you please describe what is a Vickmans rum cake? I have had rum cakes that were 1/2 yellow & chocolate cake with a fruit filling in-between the cake layers and a light chocolate frosting with sprinkles on top. I also have add rum cakes with a custardy filling.

I loved them as well...and I would be interested! Thank You!

Vickmans Rum Cakes were Moist multiple layered cakes with custard and cocoa in the center with a light taste of rum. Covered in the best icing I have ever tasted light not overly sweey frosting, This cake is so light it melts in your mouth and leaves an impression on you, you can not forget.

I have been looking for Vickmans Rum Cakes for years. My wife grew up on Vickmans Rum Cakes and would love to get her one for her birthday. Last I had found about 8 years ago L.A.'s Best Bakery was making Vickmans Rum Cakes but they have stopped making the, If anyone out there knows where I can purchase a Vickmans Rum Cake or get the receipe please let me now.
