TABLE OF CONTENTS

     This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (which, together with this Amendment, Amendment No. 1, filed April 25, 2011, and any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, collectively constitute this “Schedule TO”) originally filed on April 21, 2011 by (i) Compass Merger Sub, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Purchaser”), and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Flowers Foods, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“Parent”), and (ii) Parent. This Schedule TO relates to the offer (the “Offer”) by Purchaser to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.50 per share, of Tasty Baking Company, a Pennsylvania corporation (“Tasty Baking”), at a purchase price of $4.00 per Share (the “Offer Price”) net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated April 21, 2011 (which, together with any amendments and supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are attached to and filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively.

     The items of the Schedule TO set forth below are hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided in this Amendment.

Item 1. Summary Term Sheet.

     The information set forth in the “Summary Term Sheet” of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and supplemented by replacing the second sentence under the question “What will happen to my stock options in the Offer?” with the following:

     “Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, will be canceled without any action on the part of the holder of any Option and converted into the right to receive promptly after the Effective Time an amount in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, equal to the excess of the Offer Price over the per Share exercise price of the Option for each Share subject to such Option.”

Item 11. Additional Information.

     Section (a)(5) of Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

     The information set forth in “Section 16. Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals” of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and supplemented by replacing the first paragraph under the heading “General” with the following paragraphs:

     “On April 21, 2011, Julie Michelsen and Tim Enochs filed a purported class action in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania against Tasty Baking, its directors, Parent and Flowers Bakeries, in connection with the proposed Merger. The lawsuit also alleges a derivative claim on behalf of Tasty Baking. This complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants breached and/or aided and abetted the breach of fiduciary duties owed to Tasty Baking by its directors. Plaintiffs claim that the sale of Tasty Baking was accomplished through an allegedly unfair and inadequate process and that certain defendants engaged in the waste of Tasty Baking assets. The suit seeks equitable relief that would delay or enjoin the Merger based on allegations regarding the process by which offers or potential offers were evaluated by Tasty Baking, damages to the plaintiffs based upon alleged improper benefits received by defendants and attorney fees and expenses.

     On April 27, 2011, Paul F. Ringheiser III filed a purported class action in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania against Tasty Baking, its directors, Parent and Flowers Bakeries, in connection with the proposed Merger. The lawsuit also alleges a derivative claim on behalf of Tasty Baking. This complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants breached and/or aided and abetted the breach of fiduciary duties owed to Tasty Baking by its directors. Plaintiffs claim that the sale of Tasty Baking was accomplished through an allegedly unfair and inadequate process and that certain defendants engaged in the waste of Tasty Baking assets. The suit seeks equitable relief that would delay or enjoin the Merger based on allegations regarding the process by which offers or potential offers were evaluated by Tasty Baking, damages to the plaintiffs based upon alleged improper benefits received by defendants and attorney fees and expenses.

     On April 29, 2011, a shareholder of Tasty Baking filed a derivative action styled, Taylor v. Pizzi, et al. , Case No. 11-05-00004 in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania against Tasty Baking, its directors, Parent, and Flowers Bakeries in connection with the proposed Merger. The complaint alleges, among other things, that Tasty Baking’s directors breached their fiduciary duties owed to the company by (i) engaging in self dealing, (ii) failing to make certain material disclosures to the shareholders in the company’s April 21, 2011 Schedule 14D-9; (iii) failing to maximize the value of Tasty Baking by recommending that the shareholders accept the tender offer at an unfair price; and (iv) putting the interest of Parent ahead of the interests of Tasty Baking. The complaint further alleges that the Tasty Baking directors wasted corporate assets by entering into the Merger Agreement. Flowers Bakeries and Tasty Baking are alleged to have aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. The complaint seeks, among other things, a declaration that the action is properly maintainable as a derivative action, equitable relief that would delay or enjoin the Merger, damages to the plaintiffs based upon alleged improper benefits received by defendants, and the award of plaintiff’s costs, including attorneys’ and experts’ fees.

     Parent believes these allegations are without merit, and is defending the actions vigorously. The absence of an injunction or court order preventing the consummation of the transaction is a condition to Parent’s obligation to complete the Offer pursuant to the Merger Agreement.”
