See Food: Magnolia Bakery's Holiday Menu

By Melissa Wiley in Food on Nov 15, 2012 8:00PM

We're a week out from Thanksgiving, so let's stay focused. On the big-money holidays, that is. Like many other retailers, Magnolia is already steeped in reindeer, elves, and twinkly menorahs. Chocolate-covered macaroons, peppermint bark and whoopee pies, and gingerbread cupcakes are all there for the pre-turkey day taking. Hey, tis the season, and it's never too early to start sampling the holidays' sweeter side.

Magnolia Bakery is located at 108 N. State St.
