You got me at ‘flavored with rum.’ :-)
Me too! Back in the ‘70s there was a sort of low-brow restaurant near here that was nevertheless Very Popular for about 10 years - people went there for the extensive salad bar (a new thing, then) and for the wonderful Rum Buns! Those were my introduction to rum-flavored pastry, and I’ve never had another like them.
A couple of years ago I made a rum-flavored bread pudding that was a hit at a Christmas party; will have to dig up that recipe.
