Item 1. Security and Issuer.

      This Statement relates to shares of the Common Stock, $0.50 par value per
share (the "Shares"), of Tasty Baking Company, a Pennsylvania corporation (the
"Issuer"). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 2801
Hunting Park Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19129.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

      (a),  (b),  (c) and (f).  This  Statement  is being filed by  Wynnefield
Partners  Small Cap Value,  L.P.  (the  "Partnership"),  Wynnefield  Small Cap
Value Offshore  Fund,  Ltd. (the "Fund"),  and  Wynnefield  Partners Small Cap
Value, L.P. I (the  "Partnership-I").  Although the Partnership,  the Fund and
Partnership-I  are each  separate  and  distinctive  entities  with  different
beneficial  owners (whether  designated as limited partners or  stockholders),
for the convenience of reporting their holdings,  in this Statement,  they are
sometimes referred to collectively as the "Wynnefield Group".

      Wynnefield Capital Management, LLC, a New York limited liability company
("WCM"), is the general partner of the Partnership and Partnership-I, private
investment companies organized as limited partnerships under the laws of the
State of Delaware. Nelson Obus and Joshua Landes are the managing members of WCM
and the principal executive officers of Wynnefield Capital, Inc., the investment
manager of the Fund, a private investment company organized under the laws of
the Cayman Islands. Mr. Obus and Mr. Landes are citizens of the United States of
America.

      The business address of Mr. Obus, Mr. Landes, WCM, and each of the
entities in the Wynnefield Group is 450 Seventh Avenue, Suite 509, New York, New
York 10123.

      (d) and (e). During the last five years, neither Mr. Obus, Mr. Landes,
WCM, nor any of the entities comprising the Wynnefield Group has been (i)
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding
was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or
state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

      The Wynnefield Group entities sold their Shares, separately from each
other, for the consideration shown in the following table:

                               (Page 5 of 8 Pages)


<PAGE>

         Name               Number of Shares Sold      Consideration Received
--------------------------  -------------------------  -------------------------

Partnership                         20,000                   $245,000

Partnership-I                       30,000                   $367,500

Fund                                13,700                   $167,825

      Each member of the Wynnefield Group maintains a separate investment fund,
consisting of capital contributions from their respective partners and investors
and capital appreciation derived therefrom for the principal purpose of buying
and selling securities (including financial and money market instruments) and
interests in domestic and foreign securities, including, without limitation,
convertible securities, stock index futures contracts, options, puts and calls
on stock and warrants.

Item 4. Purposes of Transaction.

      The entities comprising the Wynnefield Group sold the Shares reported in
Item 3 for their respective own accounts because, in their respective individual
judgments, such sales effected a diversification of the risk allocated among the
asset portfolios of the entities comprising the Wynnefield Group.

      Except as set forth above, no member of the Wynnefield Group has any
present plans or intentions that would result in or relate to any of the
transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule
13D.

Item 5. Interests in Securities of the Issuer.

      (a) As of the close of business on the date hereof, the three entities
referred to as the Wynnefield Group beneficially owned a total of 339,361
Shares. Mr. Obus and Mr. Landes, by virtue of their status as managing members
of WCM, the general partner of the Partnership and Partnership-I, and as
officers of the Fund's investment manager, may be deemed to have indirect
beneficial ownership of the Shares owned by the three entities referred to as
the Wynnefield Group.


                               (Page 6 of 8 Pages)

<PAGE>

      However, Mr. Obus and Mr. Landes, as stated below, disclaim any beneficial
ownership of such Shares. The Shares owned by the three entities referred to as
the Wynnefield Group represent approximately 4.33% of the outstanding Shares of
the Issuer, based on the 7,846,012 Shares reported as outstanding on November 6,
2000 in the Issuer's latest Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

      Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 of the General Rules and Regulations under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), Mr. Obus
and Mr. Landes disclaim beneficial ownership of any Shares owned by the three
entities comprising the Wynnefield Group and disclaim membership in the
Wynnefield Group with respect to the Shares for purposes of Sections 13(d) and
13(g) of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose under any other provision of
the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

      (b) Mr. Obus and Mr. Landes, by virtue of their status as the managing
members of WCM, the general partner of the Partnership and Partnership-I, and as
officers of the Fund's investment manager, have the power to vote or to direct
the vote and the power to dispose and to direct the disposition of the Shares
owned by each of the three entities comprising the Wynnefield Group.

      (c) In the past sixty (60) days, the entities in the Wynnefield Group made
their separate purchases and sales of Shares as follows:

Name           Transaction       Date         Number of Shares   Price Per Share
----           -----------       ----         ----------------   ---------------

Fund             Sell       December 21, 2000       13,700          $12.25

Fund             Sell       December 28, 2000        1,000          $14.50


      (d) The entities comprising the Wynnefield Group, as owners of an
aggregate of 339,361 Shares (representing approximately 4.33% of the outstanding
Shares) have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of
dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Shares owned by them, but
only from such Shares.

      Neither Mr. Obus, Mr. Landes, WCM, nor any of the entities comprising the
Wynnefield Group has any contracts, arrangements, understandings or
relationships (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect to any
securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to any contracts,
