Crews are currently hard at work turning the former Pita Pit location on North Second St. in Machensey Park into a new boutique style bakery called The Baking Grounds North.

Not only does the menu of this new bakery cafe look delicious, but it marks the continuation and expansion of a Southern family tradition, and I think that is awesome!

Tiffany McCaslin is hoping to open the Northern location of her father's Georgia bakery around April 2, and according to WIFR, McCaslin and her family have been in the baking business since 1958.

Besides offering  a ton of baked goodies, The Baking Grounds North will serve breakfast, lunch and feature a full coffee and espresso bar.

The Baking Grounds in Georgia is known for their "I Do" cake, so the bakery's Machesney Park location may become THE place  to get a beautifully decorated wedding cake in town.

The Baking Grounds North has already held several on the spot interviews for sales clerks, but may still be looking for cooks and dishwashers. For more information, just send them a message on Facebook.
