Spring is right around the corner (if you consider four weeks around the corner – thanks, Punxsutawney Phil) and with warm weather and blooming flowers, wedding season arrives. A longtime local wedding tradition is having a cookie table at your wedding – a table (or two) stacked high with different kinds of cookies, chocolates, and other sweets open to guests. If you hese Pittsburgh-based bakeries have all the treats you need for your cookie table.
