Bougee Baking in Baton Rouge: Eloise Market & Cakery

Madelyn Burr, founder of Eloise Market and Cakery, joins the show on this Foodie Friday to share how she turned her love of food into Baton Rouge’s “most bougee bakery.” Starting during COVID with Instagram posts, Burr quickly grew from home orders to a brick‑and‑mortar shop at just 22 years old. Eloise specializes in custom cakes, vibrant designs, and Louisiana traditions like king cake, while also offering fun, hands‑on baking classes. Burr emphasizes precision—measuring in grams and using room‑temperature ingredients—as keys to success. Supported by her community, she’s built a bakery that blends artistry, culture, and entrepreneurship, proving Baton Rouge can foster young, creative business leaders.
