"This South LA legend has been thriving since 1956. It’s a third-generation operated bakery run by Jeanette Bolden-Pickens, who, in addition to baking, is a former Olympian. With miniature or full-sized pecan, pumpkin, and sweet potato pies, the hardest part is figuring out which one to take home. Always order in advance before they sell out." - Mona Holmes
