FAT TUESDAY IS THIS COMING TUESDAY--TIME FOR KING CAKE AND PACKZI.

In Holland, Mi, the place to get King Cake and Packzi is the Dutch Brothers deBoer Bakkerij.


 deBoer's has fabulous breads too.

Packzi are Polish filled doughnuts made extra rich with eggs and cream with wonderful fillings.  They are eaten to celebrate on Fat Tuesday before Lent and fasting start on Ash Wednesday.

  1. Glad to see you back to posting Julie. Hope your recovery is going well.

    Loved the Packzi in Hamtramck when I was growing up. The ones they call packzi at Wesco and Meijer are just NOT the same.

  2. I had a "Berliner" from de Boer's yesterday. Berliner is another name for a filler doughnut. It was stuffed with raspberry filling. Fantastic. Do check them out if you get to Holland.

    In Grand Rapids, the place for Packzis is Marge's Donut Den on 28th St.

    I am slowly regaining my strength. Doing well with my mobility. Hope we can have coffee/tea sometime.
