CRISFIELD — A small bakery specializing in Smith Island cakes is getting ready to fill the biggest order yet in its 5-year history, and it's one sweet deal.
The U.S. Naval Academy has ordered 4,660 miniature cakes that will be delivered to Annapolis on Dec. 6, and then served to midshipmen during Army-Navy Spirit Week leading up to the big football game on Dec. 11.
"We've got about 800 more to do, but we'll get 'em done," said Gary Tull, who owns the Smith Island Sweet Shop with his wife, Cheryl.
Last Wednesday, workers in the West Main Street shop were busy with the Naval Academy job as well as Thanksgiving orders for 120 cakes, 41 pies and countless dozens of sweet potato and pumpkin biscuits and yeast rolls.
