Several local bakeries offer a variety of delicious holiday treats, each guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and put you in a good mood this festive season, writes Ed Williams for the Main Line Today. 

At Sweet Zen Bakery in Malvern, you can get tasty apple, pumpkin, and pecan pies along with sublime mousse cakes and pear chai tarts, such as pâte sablée filled with vanilla chai pastry cream and roasted pears.
