Baked delights

On the 13th of every month, a bakery chain is offering freebies and goodies with every order. The idea is to celebrate instead of being fearful of the 13th. It's also homage to the old baking custom of always adding an extra item to every dozen baked goods, leading to the inception of the time-honed phrase. Take your pick from an assortment of baked sweet treats and their signature sourdough loaves.
