February 12 isn’t just Fat Tuesday — it’s also Paczki Day. (Sometimes also celebrated on Feb. 7, known as Fat Thursday.)
Paczkis are a Polish delicacy and are similar, but not equal to, a jelly- or cream-filled doughnut. Larger than doughnuts, paczkis are rich, decadent treats filled with fresh fruits and all sorts of creme and mousse options, topped with powdered sugar, icing or chocolate.
Check out our guide to local bakeries that will sell paczkis for a limited time. Make sure to call ahead to order or to confirm the dates of sale.
