read what others are saying about the original smith island cake company!

We live in Napa, California and we received the Original Smith Island cake as a gift from our friends in Pennsylvania. It was delivered on 12/23/09. As soon as it got here I put the cake in the refrigerator, and did not take it out of the tin until Christmas day (we shared it with our friends and family - 20 people). As I took out the cake everyone was surprised to see the tin packaging. I took the bow apart and opened the tin, at this point almost everyone was around me curious to see what it would look like since we had just shared with them its origin. We were all very surprised to see that it was in perfect condition. Everyone agreed that it was very delicious, and was amazed at how moist and fresh tasting it was. Several of my guest said that it tasted homemade, and couldn't believe that it had been shipped to us from back east. It is one of the best cakes we've ever had, and it was by far the best dessert at our 2009 Christmas dinner. We definitely want to try other flavors.
Congratulations!

I just wanted to say thank you for all of the help that went along with me receiving my Smith Island Cake by the time that I needed it. I misunderstood the 2 day mail option and thought that I had given myself enough time to receive my cake, but I didn't... when I called the store Sam and Kim both took great care of me from beginning to end and saw to it that my cake arrived today. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the excellent service! They both went above and beyond and followed through with everything they promised. I am grateful that we can now leave for our trip in the morning...and I will have the surprise that I had planned on to light up a certain someone's face (Smith Island Cakes are his favorite)! Thanks for the help and for making a difference in our special day! P.S. Your full size, hand written cards are a really nice touch!

Oh, Yum! I purchased my first Smith Island Cake - Original Flavor as a Mother's Day gift and boy, was it a hit! It tastes just like homemade - not that bakery sickening sweet taste. Everyone loved it! It is so savory and moist. Loved that it is so well made that you can have a 'really' big piece or just a sliver - slices perfect every time. What a fabulous addition to the White Marlin Mall!

So glad to hear things are going well! I hear nothing but good things, and I was in there just last Friday to spoil a friend of mine from New Jersey — I took her just one piece of strawberry since she was in a house with others who should not be eating this wonderful treat: - ) I smuggled it in during a visit and she disappeared to her room with the contraband and a cup of tea — it made her day: - )

And I congratulate you for the generosity you continue to extend to non-profits in the area — there are many requests, I am sure, but it is very good for the community, as well as a great business decision!

"I was delighted to receive a Smith Island Cake as a gift. I was so impressed at the way the product was shipped. The packaging was excellent, no room for damage and very well chilled. The cake was so lovely and decorated beautifully. When visiting the Eastern Shore, we had tasted a Smith Island Cake previously, however the cake sent from the Original Smith Island Cake Company highly exceeded our expectations. It was truly a dessert eating experience that I will not forget! It is great to find a company that is dedicated to creating a gourmet cake that is unique and different from other cake companies on-line."

I received a Chocolate Cheesecake Smith Island Cake from the Original Smith Island Cake Company. The cake was no doubt a taste of heaven! I own a bed and breakfast and served it to my guests. They were amazed and couldn’t wait to try some of the other flavors! I will continue to order cakes from this great company for my guests!

I had a raspberry truffle Smith Island cake for the first time. The fruit flavor and icing were delicious! It was a special treat for all of our teachers!
-Ocean City Elementary School

What a great tasting cake! The cream cheese icing had a flavor which was sweet and savory. Over all the cake was appealing with the texture and flavor being outstanding. It would be a beautiful dessert for an occasion. This was my first “Smith Island Cake” but not my last from Original Smith Island Cake Co.
