I have consumed a great many holiday baked goods in my time—some of them very good, but far more of them bad. I have slogged through loaves of bone-dry panettone, plunged elbow-deep into lackluster caramel popcorn tubs, and conducted exactly one informal scientific inquiry titled “Yule Logs: Why?”
Please know that I am not snobbish about baked goods. I have the sweet tooth of an 8-year-old. But there’s something about the holidays that brings out the absolute worst in baked goods. I think it’s because, in a lot of ways, traditional holiday pies set the baker up to fail. Volunteer to bring a pie to the holiday function, and if you have no previous pie-baking experience, you have two choices: grope your way through a vague family recipe scrawled in your great-grandmother’s illegible handwriting, or bring a store-bought cavity bomb.

And he shall bring forth a Kringle, and thou shalt call his name the Kringle King: for he shall save his people from their sins and also from Sam’s Club cherry pie.
Never had one. In honor of my Wisconsin father’s family, I’m going to order one. Won’t be here in time for Christmas, but maybe New Year’s?
For the aficionados, what flavor? I’m leaning towards Almond or Door County Cherry.
I’d go nuts..
Almond or Door County Cherry.
______________________________
One of each.
My Grandmother's house was walking distance from one of the better known Kringle bakeries in Racine.
We'd eat them year round.
Kringles are terrific - we have a bakery in town that specializes in them.
Have never had ice cream on one, sounds deliciously over the top!
I was tempted to order both. I have a chest freezer!
Ultimately decided to go with cherry; the person who will help me eat it prefers cherry. I’ve decided to order almond for Easter.
I had a few from Uncle Mike’s and they were enjoyable. The bakeries in Racine look great (there are about 5 of them)! Bendsten’s looks particularly good.

Oh, man. You’re killing me!
I’m a fool for baked goods.
Almond and Cherry are my favorites. You can’t go wrong with either.
Enjoy, and thanks for supporting a Wisconsin Business!
Get on highway 11 until it hits 50 Delevan. Get on 50 and head straight east. Stop when you get to Racine. You can figure it out from there!
(Of course, I can generally get a kringle at Trader Joes without going up north!)
Since the Wisconsin family is German and Lithuanian heritage, I figure I better go to the local German bakery and get stollen and lebkuchen for Christmas, so I won’t be haunted by ghosts of Christmas past! LOL
The kringle can be my hygge New Years.
(Daughhter scored 2 almond kringles today at T.J.s!)
Almond.
My wife used to get one every year from one of her clients. They’re pretty darn good.
