TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – With Thanksgiving just a few days away, many are flocking to a Tallahassee staple, the Tasty Pastry Bakery, to take care of the real star of the holiday table – the pies.
Inside the bakery, the ovens are cranked, the counters are covered, and the air smells like delicious homemade pies — something die-hard customers say they can’t do without.
