Southern Desserts from Taste of the South

Check out this delicious collection of classic southern recipes from one of our sister publications, Taste of the South. 

The gentle whir of the mixer; the warmth of a cake pan through an oven mitt; the aroma of vanilla, butter, and sugar heavy in the air—these simple pleasures foretell the promise of sweet rewards from the kitchen.

In the South, dessert is the highlight of every occasion. From birthdays and weddings to holidays and weeknight suppers, no gathering is complete without a sweet ending. We are known for our showstoppers like meringue-topped pies and magnificently frosted layer cakes as well as our humble fruit–filled cobblers and luscious puddings.

The best part of dessert is sharing a bite with family and friends. Dessert is—as it should be—always at the center of any Southern celebration. Bringing family and friends together to celebrate a joyous moment is almost always accompanies by something sweet. Let this delicious collection of heirloom recipes and modern takes on classics be your guide to making sweet memories throughout the year with the ones you cherish most.
