WEST OCEAN CITY — If the Preakness Stakes is the "middle jewel of the Triple Crown," then the Original Smith Island Cake Co. will be center stage.
The West Ocean City cafe and bakery is an attraction at the 2010 Preakness in May, slicing up Maryland's recently crowned state dessert — Smith Island cake. The decadent, multi-layered yellow cake with chocolate fudge icing will be appropriately topped , for the occasion with edible black-eyed Susans, the state flower.
The cake company, celebrating its first year in business in May, has agreed to partner with Pimlico Raceway in Baltimore and supply racing venues during the four days of Preakness events that start May 12, said Jennifer Schworn, a company manager.
