RACINE, Wis. (Feb. 17, 2025) — With Fat Tuesday celebrations right around the corner, O&H Danish Bakery honors the occasion with its beloved treats for the celebration including King Cake Kringle, now accepting pre-orders with in-store pick up available now until March 5, and its lineup of Paczki, only available in-stores on March 4, available now for online pre-order to pick up in store on Fat Tuesday.
“Fat Tuesday is a beloved tradition, and one of our favorite times at O&H Danish Bakery. We love sharing in the festivities with our customers whether it’s the excitement of being the lucky person to find the King Cake baby or indulging in sweet Paczki. This year is even sweeter as we introduce our irresistible new Dulce De Leche Paczki flavor,” said Peter Olesen, fourth-generation co-owner of O&H Danish Bakery.
King Cake Kringle is available for pre-order with scheduled in-store pick-ups until March 5. This special edition Kringle, inspired by the popular Mardi Gras treat, features O&H Danish Bakery’s signature 36-layer pastry filled with cream cheese, topped with sweet icing and decorated in official Mardi Gras colors. To ensure a complete celebration, every King Cake Kringle includes Mardi Gras beads and the King Cake Story to learn about the tradition of luck and prosperity brought to the lucky person who finds the plastic baby hidden in the dessert after baking.
Paczki, meaning “little packages” in Polish, are a popular dessert traditionally enjoyed on Fat Tuesday, also commonly referred to as Paczki Day. The dessert is made with a rich, sweet yeast dough that is deep fried and then glazed with powdered sugar and packed with deliciously sweet fillings such as custard or jam. This year, O&H debuts the new Dulce De Leche flavor featuring a caramel custard filling topped with caramel icing and finished with toffee bits and chocolate chunks. The Paczki lineup also includes customer favorites Door County Cherry, Bavarian Cream, Crisp Apple and more. Pre-order now to pick-up in store— one day only— on March 4 here.
King Cake Kringle and Paczki Mardi Gras Kringle (select flavor pack only) packages are also available online for two-day nationwide shipping until March 5 and March 4, respectively. Customers can visit any of O&H’s five bakery locations in Southeast Wisconsin or shop online for Kringle, gourmet gift packages and more at www.ohdanishbakery.com.
