Our Story

Kona Gold Trading Company is a family-owned and operated bakery, established in 2002. All of our baked goods are made fresh daily in small batches right here on Hawaii’s Big Island. Our bakery, retail store and tasting room business is located off Mamalahoa Highway in Kealakekua, and serves samples of our delicious cakes and coffee. Stop in and try our Macadamia Nut Rum Cakes in four flavors from around the Islands and our award-winning 100% Kona Coffee!

Why

RUM CAKE?

Early Explorers and Whalers were the first to bring rum to Hawaii, and it is still the most popular spirit consumed on the Islands. After the introduction of sugarcane to the Islands, the popularity of rum increased. Hawaii began making its own locally produced rum.

Kona Gold Rum Cakes feature Premium Gold and Dark Rum in all four flavors of our cakes!

Our freshly-baked cakes are vacuum-packed and have a shelf life of 6 months when kept in cool storage (which also enhances the flavor!) Not on the island? Order now through our secure online store and enjoy having our delicious cakes and coffee delivered to your home.
