Stay Near The Southern Living Idea House in Newnan

We have been on the hunt for the ideal rustic pound cake for a few weeks now. After a couple of recipes that didn't quite make the grade we found our perfect cake! From a 1987 Southern Living Cookbook we settled on a Buttermilk Pound Cake that had the texture we were looking for. Dense, crumbly with a crunchy egg white crust.

One of our most popular sweet courses at Casa Bella Bed and Breakfast is a Strawberries Romanoff served on crispy, grilled pound cake. Store-bought pound cake just wasn't quite yielding the results we desired.

We needed a cake that could hold up to the grilling and produce some crispy bits of buttery goodness that would ultimately absorb the Orange Brandy liqueur flavoring our strawberries! The dense buttery crumbs mix with the creamy homemade whipped cream and orange brandy flavor to create a mouth-watering strawberry experience!

Baker Ron deserves a big round of applause on this one. Can't wait to see what's next!

When you're visiting the 2010 Southern Living Idea House in nearby Senoia, book your reservations at Casa Bella Bed and Breakfast by calling 770-755-6750 and ask for your Strawberries Romanoff and Baker Ron's Buttermilk Pound Cake.

The Southside's Market Days in Newnan


Timely Expressions of LaGrange


Gina Garcia of Southern Roots Enterprises T. Bill Lee's Secret BBQ Sauce


Market Days in Newnan is in full swing for 2010! The quality and quantity of vendors continues to grow-offering guests and residents an enjoyable fun-filled day on our beautiful court square!


Weekend guests of Casa Bella Bed and Breakfast enjoyed a very leisurely breakfast and still had plenty of time to shop the square and market. They particularly loved our newest shop, Encore Decor-also one of my personal favorites.

It's always interesting to see who's new to our market and this month brought some new talented vinyl artists from LaGrange, as well as a new BBQ sauce and wonderfully crisp spring rolls! All my favorites were there, Pine Street Market with their wonderful Picnic Salami and flavorful applewood-smoked bacon-a favorite at our Casa Bella breakfast table!
