Here in Crisfield, MD we bake Smith Island cakes using our family's Smith Island cake recipe. We are Cheryl and Gary Tull, and we were born and raised on Smith Island. I learned to bake the 10-layer chocolate cake from my grand cousin Frances Kitching. Our specialty is Maryland's state dessert, a moist homemade cake with 10 ultra-thin, individually baked layers carefully stacked and frosted. Most every Friday night both my mother and my grandmother would make a famous Smith Island layer cake. Now I'm baking them for you!

The hard part is deciding what to buy! Give us a call. We'll describe our cakes and help you select the ones that are right for your occasion.

We take orders by phone and email, and we ship by USPS. Thank you for shopping at the Sweet Shoppe!
