There’s a scene in the classic children’s book, “Harold and the Purple Crayon,” where Harold conjures up a picnic of pies with his trusty purple crayon. Harold was hungry, “So he laid out a simple picnic lunch. There was nothing but pie. But there were all nine kinds of pie that Harold liked best.” Well, if Harold was happy with nine pies, he’d be positively delighted by Missy’s, a bakery in Lexington, Kentucky, that dishes up over a dozen delicious varieties of pie each and every day!

This unassuming little shop might not look like much from the outside, but we all know that it's what's on the inside that counts.
