Signature Desserts Of Georgia And South Carolina
Georgia and South Carolina have some pretty delicious food that we’re known for. Now it’s no secret that I’m a fan of dessert. So let’s take a look at the signature desserts that the CSRA area is known for. If you get hungry and are craving dessert after reading this, let me just apologize in advance.
What Desserts Do You Think Of When You Think Of Georgia and South Carolina?
I’ll be honest, any time that my wife and I go out to eat, we like to take a look at the dessert menu. Now, we might not end up ordering anything, but we’ll at least take a look. Of course, there are usually some unique things for that particular restaurant, but there are usually some signature desserts as well. I saw this article on DC News Now and they listed the signature desserts from all fifty states.
Stacker researched dessert staples from each of the fifty states and came back with the signature dessert from each one. Before we get to Georgia and South Carolina. Let’s look at some of the signature desserts from some of our Southern neighbors.
- Alabama- Lane Cake which is apparently a sponge cake with coconut, pecans, and raisins between the layers and bourbon-spiked frosting.
- Florida- Key Lime Pie
- North Carolina- Sweet Potato Pie
- Tennessee- Goo Goo Clusters
Most of those make sense to me. Now let’s see what the signature desserts for Georgia and South Carolina are.
For Georgia, it’s Peach Cobbler which shouldn’t really surprise anyone, I mean we are the Peach State after all. As far as South Carolina goes, the signature dessert there is Coconut Cake, which I love! I didn’t know that Coconut Cake was so big in South Carolina, but hey, I’m not mad at it. I’m a fan of both of these desserts. Do y’all agree with these picks?

Top 5 Things We Need In The CSRA
A Comedy Club
We used to have one back in the day. I was never old enough to go there, and by the time I was it was closed. Augusta loves comedy. I know this because I go to a lot of the comedy shows that come here, and for the most part, all of them are sold out, or close to it. I think it would be a great date night option or just a cool place to go and hang out with a group of friends. Everyone loves to laugh and have a good time right? Of course they do.
A Water Park
This is another thing we used to have. A lot of long-time Augusta residents will remember Krystal River Water Park. I only went a couple of times, but I remember it was always fun. Of course, there are places here that have splash pads and things like that, but we need a full-fledged water park. It gets hot here in the summer, we need another place to cool off.
A Science/Discovery Center
This is something else that we had years ago. If you grew up in the CSRA in the 90s or 2000s, odds are you took a field trip to Fort Discovery. It was a really cool place for kids to learn with lots of hands on activities. We took our daughter to the science center in Orlando, and she loved it. I think that kids here in the CSRA need a place like this again.
