"A fantastic shop in Baldwin Hills, Southern Girl Desserts churns out cupcakes, pies, cookies, puddings, and cobblers. “I grew up in Virginia, so Southern desserts are close to my heart,” Masago explains. “I’m a huge fan of pecan pie, and they have one of the best in LA—it’s filled with yams, vanilla, cinnamon, and lemon. I stop in for one of their mini pecan pies all the time.”" - kat hong
