Smith Island Cake
The Smith Island Cake is a tradtional dessert originating on Smith Island – Maryland’s only inhabited island in the Chesapeake Bay. Featuring nine layers of ultra-thin yellow cake separated by mouth-watering, cooked chocolate icing, this decadent treat was named Maryland’s state desert in 2008.
“The Eastern Shore has had a love affair with cakes from the early days of our Chesapeake heritage. In our hearts, nothing is worse than an empty cakestand with little left but a few crumbs…enjoy a delicious piece of history with one of our homeade 9 layer cakes.” – Dana Evans, Producer

Nice taste, but the instructions are hard to read - need a magnifying glass.

The food was delivered in perfect condition and the directions to prepare it were great. The lobster bisque was fantastic and we cannot wait to have the rest of it.

Angelina’s of Maryland packed their seafood so well that everything was still frozen when it arrived! I was very happy and will order many more times in the future!

I have had some of the items I order on Goldbelly from the actual restaurants in real-time, so I know how they should taste. My most recent purchase, a Smith Island Cake from Angelina's was spot on. Prices are high, but if you use it for an indulgence (as opposed to doing your grocery shopping there) it is totally worth it.

The lobster bisque was outstanding; even my husband said so and he's very particular about soup. You could taste the lobster, the seasoning was right, and it wasn't overly salty. The crab cakes were full of crab with little filler, which highlighted the crab rather than sweetness from sugar, corn syrup, and other additives.

Authentic crab cakes delivered from the east coast to a seafood starved landlocked midwesterner. Looking at the website, we will order from other regions and states to explore again.

Having grown up catching crabs on the lower Chesapeake Bay since 5-6 years old it is really one of life's true pleasures to get real blue crab again here in Florida. Having tasted and chased down crab cakes all over the world for over 50 years it is easy to say these are the very best - not too much seasoning like others and hardly any or no filler like all others. Thank you. You have elevated the beautiful swimmer to the delight it is.

Angelina’s smith island seven layer yellow cake with chocolate icing is the closest I’ve had to my mother’s. It was absolutely delicious. It was right on time, beautiful, and my husband was angry, because he missed the last piece.
