Even at the most traditional Thanksgiving tables, dessert seems to be the one course most feasters are content to outsource. So in Eater's slow march towards Thanksgiving dinner, here's a killer guide to bakeries taking pre-orders for pie, cake, and other sweet treats. Head to the map for a (baker's) dozen spots offering the likes of vegan pumpkin cheesecake, chocolate bourbon hazelnut pie, or "Mom's Coffee Mallow Pie." (And a warning, in case you're hungry: lots of pie food-porn ahead.)
