This is the time of year when most people snub sugary desserts, unless, of course, they are planning a wedding. The beginning of the year is primetime for newly-engaged couples to start planning their big day. (Myself being one of them.)
Looking to add a little local flair to your nuptials? We have put together a list of bakeries specializing in some of the wedding industry’s most sought after sweets.

Bonafide Betties was started by two friends who share a love of pie and the spirit of a small town business. Each recipe is filled with history, and a whole lot of real, fresh ingredients. There are several pies to choose from. Hot Mess, their award winning buttermilk, being most popular. A pie bar is perfect for an intimate Southern wedding.
