Southern Sweet Tooth

You're standing in line at the usual Sunday morning brunch and before you are countless Southern desserts!  From the pies, to the cakes, to the bars, to the cobblers, the choices are impossible to make, but never fear!  We will go through some of the best traditional Southern desserts that always leave your mouth watering when mentioned and never fail to satisfy even the sweetest of sweet tooths!

Number one?  The Red Velvet Cake!  Often seen as a groom's cake, this delightfully decadent dessert is often a chocolate cake dyed red and topped with a sweet cream cheese frosting.  Perfect for any type of celebration: wedding, birthday, or anniversary.  Try Southern queen, Paula Deen's recipe for a sure-to-please treat!

Moving on, number two: Pecan Pie.  This Southern traditional dessert originated in New Orleans when the French were introduced to the pecan nut by Native Americans.  And with this introduction came the well-known and loved pie most often seen around the holidays.  Too many slices of this bad boy and you'll be running to the dentist with cavities galore! (Doesn't seem to stop most people from second helpings, though.)



Number three? Coconut cake! This creamy dessert is perfect for any occasion!  It's definitely a crowd-pleaser because of the think frosting and layers of yummy cake, not to mention the fact that it's made with coconut, which is good for you, right?  Sure!  Pair this treat with a glass of Southern sweet tea and you'll be sure to satisfy any sugar craving for the next year!
