Sugarbelle on Perkins Road to host May grand opening

Sugarbelle, a bakery that originated on Plank Road, has opened its second location at 10889 Perkins Rd. in the space of the former Sweet Wishes. A grand opening event is scheduled for Saturday, May 17. The bakery’s Baton Rouge Community College booth in the campus’ dining hall is also now open.

Kasie Coleman started Sugarbelle on Plank about a year ago and has wanted to open in South Baton Rouge since then. She told 225 Dine in February that she didn’t think the expansion would happen so quickly.

At the Perkins Road location, customers can expect her popular cupcakes, whoopie pies and PraLena brownies, which feature the bakery’s homemade brownies topped with Coleman’s own pralines. Coleman says the new store will also serve donuts as well as stuffed breads that will feature meat lovers and grilled chicken, spinach and feta cheese options.
