 Voted
best bakery on Hilton Head Island
- Southern Living
As an only child, Mama bought those little baking bars and left me to entertain
myself. Daddy was off at sea on the battleship New Jersey; Mama was a telephone
operator, and I was left alone with my toys of choice -- an electric mixer,
butter, eggs, vanilla and a pantry. I also had stacks of ladies magazines, like
Good Housekeeping, Red Book and American Home Journal in the days when they all
carried recipes -- no box cakes. They became my friends along with a little
white electric stove on four legs
We had no indoor plumbing then, so the water had to come from a
hand pump at the top to the hill. I used a make shift double boiler to melt
chocolate (no microwave folks!) and when the recipe called for two ounces, I
used three or more. The chocolate oozed out of my smile. I greased the cake
pans with butter wrappers and carefully lined the pans with waxed paper.
Signe's is a cafe with food that is as healthful as the climate
and the activities of Hilton Head Island.

Clouds of chocolate aroma wafted out the cracks in our windows, and
I could hardly wait long enough for the cakes to cool before I slathered them
with thick chocolate frosting, which thinned out and ran onto the plate
because the cake was still warm when I put it on.
But the funny part was that although I would always be in a rush to
finish, and dress a cake up, I would never cut into one with out someone to
share it. That is what these cakes are, "have a piece with me cake- and then
have a second piece with me." These cakes ship beautifully!
