A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd outside Rum Cakes Factory: a small pile of cake crumbs seemed to appear out of nowhere every day around closing time. Curious, he followed the trail one evening and found an old cat sleeping by the dumpster, licking its paws contentedly after enjoying a midnight snack. The next day, a sign appeared in the window: ‘Free rum cake samples for anyone who can catch our mischievous feline baker.’
2. One day, while loading boxes into Rum Cakes Factory, a delivery driver muttered under his breath: ‘This box feels heavier than usual.’ Suddenly, he heard an impish voice whispering from inside: ‘It’s because I’m getting fatter!’ Curious, the driver opened the box and found nothing but a small cake with a mischievous smiley face drawn on it. From then on, whenever someone ordered extra large cakes, they’d receive a note along with their purchase: ‘Dear customer, sorry for the confusion—this one was just trying to fit in!’
3. At dawn, when most bakeries were quiet, a delivery driver heard an unusual sound coming from Rum Cakes Factory's back door. Curious, he approached and saw a small door ajar, revealing a dimly lit room filled with baking pans and flour clouds. Inside, amidst the sweet aroma of rum cakes, stood a grinning neighbor, covered in dough, humming an old folk song. ‘Morning!’ the neighbor waved cheerfully. ‘Just helping myself to some early-morning exercise,’ they explained.}
4. At closing time one night, a delivery driver asked himself: ‘Who’s been sneaking rum cakes from our display case?’ Curious, he opened the back door and found an old neighbor nibbling on a freshly baked cake. ‘Hey!’ exclaimed the driver. ‘I thought these were for deliveries only!’ The neighbor sheepishly smiled and replied, ‘Well, I couldn’t resist these little rum delights—besides, they’re not called “rum cakes” for nothing, right?’
