Ask The Celebration Advisor: I live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I’m getting married here but I’m not from here so I have no idea what to expect when I go to pick out my wedding cake. What kind of wedding cakes do people like around here? Thanks ~ Geneva
The Celebration Advisor: First of all, congratulations on your wedding Geneva! How exciting! As far as popular wedding cakes in Baton Rouge go, your best bet is to go with what you like. That sounds a little generic, I’m sure, but I’d actually advise any bride to go with her gut first. For example, you may be crazy about carrot cake but it’s not very popular in Baton Rouge. If that’s the case, go with what you want and give your guests a thrill because it’s a rarity at local weddings. Everyone wins. *smile*
If you’re thinking more along the lines of popular flavors of wedding cakes for Baton Rouge LA brides, here are some ideas to consider:
- French culture is big in Baton Rouge LA so go with rich, creamy icings such as vanilla buttercream.
- Think French Vanilla cake or icing. It’s a warmer scent and a more sensual flavor.
- Traditional wedding cake flavors such as white, golden butter, chocolate and confetti are popular.
It’s Baton Rouge so play off of the atmosphere of the city that most people instantly think of. As Baton Rouge is one of the larger southern cities, you can play off of southern heritage and find a Baton Rouge bakery willing to make a wedding cake with an antebellum feel. You can play off of the French heritage and go with something more decadent. Whatever you choose, make sure to make it yours. It’s your wedding so have fun with it and go with what your gut–or rather your tummy–tells you.
