Internationally awarded for “Excellence” by the Gourmet Retailer Magazine,
The Original Horton’s Black Rum Cakes have no equal. “Taste, packaging and presentation” were reasons cited for the award. Since 1985 they have been known for their light and moist texture and were featured at the Athens Olympics, presented at Nelson Mandela’s legendary birthday bash and had Washington’s movers and shakers buzzing about the incredibly delicious dessert at a reception for the Smithsonian’s Folk Life Festival.
Note: Be advised that if rum cakes don’t say Horton’s on the label, they are NOT the Bermuda Originals! Look for the Horton family name on the label of The Original Horton’s Bermuda Black Rum Cakes!

Kirk’s Jewelers is one of Bermuda’s small treasures. Located in the Butterfield Place on Front Street in Hamilton, it is where you can find original, & unique pieces designed by Kirk himself. Kirk is very well known locally for our outstanding craftsmanship and he takes great pride in his work. During our 30 years of jewelry design, we have created many one-of-a-kind pieces for engagement and wedding bands, however, if you don’t see what you want, talk to Kirk and most likely he can create it for you.

This is where Kitten Ellison is most at home --- at her work table amongst other Bermudian artists in the Craft Market at the Royal Navy Dockyard. With a 'flick' of her wrist and her own blend of colours, she creates a multitude of art on china, clothing, glassware and jewelry. Having studied and taught Ikebana (Japanese flower arranging) for 17 years , a chance remark from a student asking me if I would be interested in learning the art of Sumie, started me on the road to my present business. Althougth Kitten is an accomplished painter, but she would probably admit that her first love is gardening, which is why it is not surprising that her art work on china, glass and fabrics brings to life the the beauty of the flowers and plants for which Bermuda is so famous.
