There’s nothing like fresh-baked sweets. However, many of us don’t have the time (or talent) to whip up deliciously decadent treats. Luckily, there are bakeries, like Smurawa's Country Bakery, that take care of all the hard work baking entails, which makes filling up on homemade goodies as easy as pie. Take a look:
Located in the tiny village of Pulaski, Smurawa's Country Bakery is a small town bakeshop with a huge reputation.
The family-owned bakery has been putting smiles on the faces of diners since opening back in 1998.
In the business of sweets and treats for more than two decades, the bakeshop has cultivated an offering that’s sure to impress.
Step up to the stocked display case and you’ll find fresh-baked goodies galore.
There are apple fritters, donuts, Danish crispies, pecan rolls, éclairs, cream puffs, and lots of other sweet treats.
Assorted croissants and specialty breads are also part of the bakery’s offering.
Out of all the tasty items Smurawa's serves, there’s one that reigns supreme – and it’s the paczki.
Of Polish origin, paczki are filled donuts. And if you’re searching for the best in Wisconsin, you’ll find them at Smurawa's.
Using a decades-old family recipe, the paczki is authentically delicious. And while the bakery has been using the same recipe for years, the paczki, more specifically the filling, has changed a bit.
Initially, the bakery’s filling came in just 6 or 7 flavors. Today, patrons can choose between 18 different flavors, including an abundance of fruit jams, custards, and French crèmes.
Though popular year-round, the demand for paczki skyrockets on Fat Tuesday, which doubles as Paczki Day, a Polish tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages.
In fact, Paczki Day is the busiest day of the year at Smurawa's, and often results in a line snaking out of the bakery and into the parking lot.
But it’s not just those in close vicinity who can’t get enough of Smurawa's paczki. The bakery ships its famous dessert across the county.
