Smith Island Bakery Sent Hundreds Of Cakes For Christmas

CRISFIELD, Md. (AP) — Maryland’s official state dessert has apparently become a holiday tradition for many outside the state.

The Smith Island Baking Company, which makes the 10-layer Smith Island cakes, says that for Christmas it shipped out hundreds of cakes as a result of the company’s online business.

The five-year-old business on remote Smith Island in the Chesapeake Bay has had so much demand it’s doing its baking both on the island and in an old seafood restaurant in Crisfield, back on the mainland.

Great news for Smith Island and its people. Of course the recipients of the cakes were certainly blessed as well.

Met Brian Murphy a few weeks ago and despite what he says I don't believe he has any interest in continuing to do business in Somerset County if anybody else (Dorchester County, for instance) offered him a goody bag of incentives.

He's just stuck in Somerset County for now "because" of Smith Island. I see him moving on, keeping Ewell as his "official" address to put up a good front for visitors.

The real baking will take place in whatever jurisdiction gives him a good deal. Can't blame him for looking elsewhere.

1119, well, Maryland does suck to be a place to be in business. Hopefully, Hogan will be able to turn the asteroid around, but it will take some hardass steering for quite a while.
