My fiance believes that all wedding cake should be white almond flavored sour cream cake. He is from Louisiana, and argues that this is what southerners always use for wedding cake. Anybod

Anybody from the South heard of this before? I want a different flavor for each layer, and am totally willing to use this flavor for the largest layer, but he is having a hard time compromising on this with me.

I"m not from the South but that sounds like pretty standard, boring wedding cake to me. I am a huge fan of multi-flavors in a cake. Remind him only 1 piece is for him and the rest is for your guests.

I'm from the South (western NC) and sour cream pound cake is a big staple here but no one would question if you didn't have it. There are a ton of southern cakes you can do that are way better, IMO.
We have two cakes, one is Bananas Foster. Rum soaked banana pound cake, caramel filling, sliced bananas, and cinnamon cream cheese icing. The other is chocolate cake made with a local porter (dark beer) with cream cheese icing. Both very southern.
Some other really good southern cakes:
Hummingbird cake
Coconut Cream
Strawberry Short Cake
Pineapple Butter Cake
Lavendar White Cake
Spiced Apple Cake
Blueberry Lemon

I'm in the South, and haven't heard of that being the staple - the only Southern tradition I've heard of it having a groom's cake, which typically is chocolate, but doesn't have to be.

I'm from the South, and like the previous poster, the only "tradition" I've heard of is having a groom's cake lol.
