And for desert....amongst other things......
That looks like a Smith Island Cake to me. Or, a darned good copy.
The Smith Island Cakes originated on Smith Island in the Chesapeake and are like no other cakes. Legend has it they started with a competition among the Island wives as to who could get the most layers in a cake.
Folks heard about those cakes and started asking for them. The result was Smith Island Bakery that started on the Island but eventually moved across the Bay to the mainland where both supplies and shipping were easier.
You can order one of those cakes shipped to you, but they are on the pricey side.
I've never had the pleasure, but that sure looks good, Peg.
