Evans Bakery Taking Orders for Paczki Day

February 23, 2022 By Lisa Grigsby

Every year just before Mardi Gras — also known as Fat Tuesday, the day of feasting before the Christian fast known as Lent — people begin clamoring for jelly doughnuts. The tradition is Polish, but it’s honored in many different communities. In some neighborhoods the Thursday before Mardi Gras is Paczki Day, in others it’s Fat Tuesday, but Poland’s famous doughnuts can be enjoyed year-round.

The folks at Evans Bakery have been making paczki for years and say they sell out paczki quickly on Paczki Day and they taking pre-order for paczki and the cut off time to preorder is 3:00 this Saturday. The flavors they are offering are: apple, apricot, blueberry, cherry, strawberry, lemon, raspberry, custard, or cream. You can have them glazed, sugared, or powdered.
