This post is a long time coming, but better late than never! Over Columbus Day, weekend we went to Tangier Island, and we also spent the day at nearby Smith Island for a hog roast. The hog roast was organized by the Save the Bay Foundation as a thank you to Smith Island for their continued support of their work. Smith Island is actually composed of three islands, and the hog roast was on Tylerton:

People from Smith Island made the desserts which included the famous multi-layer Smith Island cake. Apparently, Smith Island cakes started on Tangier Island, but Smith Island takes the credit for them (hopefully this claim doesn't start a fight!). Each layer is made one at a time. I had a slice of the yellow cake with chocolate frosting, but I also sampled all vanilla Smith Island cake and chocolate peanut butter Smith Island cake (the best of the three).
