Kringle

Kringle — the oval-shaped, authentic Danish pastry produced predominately in Racine County. Thirty-two layers of flaky dough — and filling choices from fruits to nuts —

Kringle is made and baked locally and enjoyed by millions of international dessert connoisseurs each year. Now a key part of the community’s traditions, Kringle has helped put Racine County on the food map. This delicate and delectable pastry has been featured on national television, including the Food Network, the Travel

Channel and the Today Show. Not to mention the numerous travel and food magazines it has appeared in. Well known New York Times food writer  R. Wapple, Jr,  who recently published the book "Far Flung and Well Fed"...called kringle from Racine "the only kringle a self respecting Dane would eat"

Kringle serves as a perfect gift for family members and business associates. Clients, employees and convention attendees cannot resist this incredible dessert that is worthy of its own food group. It’s worth a visit to Racine just to indulge in Kringle!
