A Pastry Lover's Guide to the Twin Cities on National Pastry Day
The Twin Cities were home to some of the United State's most well-known flour mills in the early 20th century, so it's no surprise baking is a major part of our city's culture today. With National Pastry Day coming up on December 9, it's a great opportunity to explore some of the top-notch bakeries around town. If you love pastries, you don't have to travel far from these Minneapolis homes for sale or these St. Paul homes for sale to find your favorite sweet treat. Here are some bake shops you have to try.
