This Bakery Has Been Named the Best in Kentucky | Travel Maven | NewsBreak Original

Bakeries are an essential part of communities across America.

Many families that immigrated to the United States back in the 1800s and early 1900s, like those from Italy, Holland, and Germany, found their way into the American Dream by opening these small independent bakeries.

Today, bakeries are celebrated for their authentic old-school style and fresh offerings from cookies to cakes.

Kentucky is brimming with bakeries, both old and new. Only one, however, made it onto Mashable’s best in the country list.

So where can you find the best bakery in the state? According to Mashable, you’ll have to head to Bluegrass Baking Company in Lexington.
