Made 11 of them as gifts for Christmas instead of Made in China crap. Next year, instead of buying gifts my family is going to exchange homemade things(wine, beer, bread, etc. I'll be doing the cakes again) and it will be the first MADE IN THE USA Christmas in a long time. Well if it all doesn't come falling down right before hand. Everyone loved the recipe, I topped mine with a caramel glaze and Heath English toffee. Thank you for the wonderful recipe Yankeeprepper.

@03SSMontecarlo HOLY BUCKETS!! 11!! That is what my wife and I have been doing the last few years too. All homemade stuff. Preserves, jellies, garden goods, roasted coffee. I bring these cakes and wine to every party I get invited too and it's always a hit. Thanks for the comment man, that was cool.

Hey Yankee, I made the or more version of rum and used a banana instant pudding mix and it was awesome. I had to put my cake on the floor when I poked it with the bayonet cause my gun butt kept hitting the ceiling. Bersides that it was truly a great cake. p.s. can you do a vid on plastering sometine.

@res401 L-O-L!!!!!!!!!!!

Good to see a man in the kitchen showing how easy it is to take care of the family! And what a great P.E.T. cake cover you got there. Is that the 10GS? Thanks for sharing and thanks for the recipe!

[Yankeeprepper]

@SultanOfShinola no, a 10gs is 10 inches in diameter and the S stands for "short" or 3 1/2 inches tall. The one in the vid comes off our AF line. And is 5 1/2 inches tall (no s)

The original owner named it all, I just bought it. We can make things as large as basement window covers as well, down to those small clam shells that you curse trying to open on Christmas.

@Clamburger100 LMAO!!  I just went to check out your channel and it was just started today!!! Why do I have this image of some turtlenecked little fat kid with 4 LED screens up in his room with the shades drawm all day and 40 YOUTUBE channels open at the same time.....

[Yankeeprepper]

@TheHossUSMC oh no, no, no, noooooo. The specified ingrediants are INFO or SPECS. Definitely NOT instructions. Instructions are how to operate or put something together. Info and Instructions are totally different. For example: Being a man, I naturally would never read the vehicle manual on how to operate it. BUT, I would check the info or specs on how much oil it takes or how much fuel it holds. Even if it's a rocket, a real man would just push buttons until something happens.

Hey this was so dang good.. but the silicon pan? do you think this could it be used by the camp fire? maybe a stone oven? why I ask is because its light ... the pan is so packable. I want pot pie silicon pans! screw it.. I need to test this.. or try some of the nuke pans .. I hope you know how much I , Thank the Lord for you and your family!

Yum! My aunt has been making that same cake but with Amaretto for as long as I can remember. The Captain is a nice alternative, I'll have to give that a try.

Cool video YP! I just had an idea for your family cookbook. Maybe during the dark of winter you and your daughters could transcribe those old recipes onto a printable page and then insert both the new page and the original hand written recipe cards in an acetate sheet like your wife's book. One side is an easy to read version, the other side is the original treasure. Sort of an organization/preservation effort. Happy New Year!

Yankee, this was hilarious! Thanks for sharing. Rum cake is my absolute favorite from my Mother as well and I taught my daughters to cook it. Love the vid. Being Cajun and living in Louisiana from a big Catholic family, I have been cooking since I was a child and consider it a must skill, whether cooking game, canning, etc. I enjoyed the Christmas vid where you fried up a batch of Cafe D' benets. Awesome! Keep up the good work.
