This summer the Southern Flair team grew! I hired Jessica as my creative assistant back in May, and today she’s sharing her FIRST blog post here! (I’m so proud!!) You’re gonna love HER and her content!

When we were brainstorming post ideas — food trucks seemed like a no-brainer. There are so many food truck round-up events happening around town, so the question we had was WHAT DO YOU GET TO EAT?!

Jessica hit the streets (and social media) to ask the food truck chefs what their BEST and MOST POPULAR menu items were… and of course, the easiest way we can find them and eat them!

So I’m handing it off to Jessica now for the most popular Baton Rouge Food Truck Dishes, according to the food truck chefs!

4- Cupcake Allie’s Pecan Pie Cupcake

Started by Allie Offner Bookman, a former teacher with a degree in design, Cupcake Allie proudly offers several dozen cupcake recipes.

They said their most popular item is by far the Pecan Pie Cupcake!

“This sells out daily in the bakery and at food truck events,” according to Allie. “Nine times out of ten, the pecan pie cupcakes will be gone within the first 30 minutes on the food truck. People will buy those in 6 packs or 12 packs and tell us they came to the event specifically for this cupcake.”

The Pecan Pie Cupcake is the perfect combination between a muffin and a cake. It’s made with brown sugar, crushed pecans and just a touch of butter, which bakes into the perfect cupcake!

They top the cupcake with a creamy pecan praline fudge so that the first bite tastes just like you’re eating Grandma’s pie for dinner!
