The Reception and Food Served
The uniqueness of the Caribbean Island is shown through the food offered during the reception. Traditionally served to the guests are curried goat, fried plantains, and spicy chicken jerky, and conch fritters. Not to be missed is the island wedding cake called the Black Cake. The recipe of this cake is handed down from the bride’s mother to her daughter. The succeeding generations make some improvements according to their tastes, but the basic ingredients are composed of flour, brown sugar, butter, and glazed cherries, prunes, raisins, currants. Fresh eggs are also included as ingredient.
Hard Rum Sauce accompanies the Black Cake when served. For the fruits to absorb the flavor of alcohol, they are soaked in rum for a period that may range from 2 weeks to one year.
