"The Royal Naval Dockyard is home to the eponymous Dockyard Glassworks and the Bermuda Rum Cake Company, an odd couple housed in an old warehouse-looking building on the west end of the island. Opened in 1999, Glassworks sells glass art objects ranging from tiny tchotchkes to impressive translucent serving dishes, all blown in the studio on the premises. Adjacent to the glassblowing facility, the Bermuda Rum Cake Company whips up traditional Bermudian rum cakes—made with Goslings rum, naturally—in sometimes eclectic flavors, like loquat (a citrus fruit that grows on the island) and “Tea Time,” a fruit-studded cake soaked in cherry and apricot brandies. Though in pre-COVID-19 times, visitors to the studio could see artisans at work during daily glassblowing demonstrations, the furnace is on hold during the pandemic." - Katherine Cusumano
