It’s one of our favorite days of the year – pączkis are back for the season at Oakmont Bakery.
Every year, the bakery begins it pączki production on January 6, kicking off a pastry season that lasts through Easter, which this year falls on Sunday, April 9.
Pączki (pronounced Poonch-Key) is a traditional, overstuffed Polish treat made with a yeast dough, and filled with various creams or fruits, and topped with a sugary sweet glaze.
They’re available at Oakmont Bakery daily in store, in more than a dozen flavors, including:
- Apple
- Blueberry
- Cherry
- Coconut
- Cookies ‘n Cream
- Custard
- Lemon
- Maple Bacon
- Oakmont Cream (Chocolate Buttercream)
- Pittsburgh Cream (Vanilla Buttercream)
- Peach
- Peanut Butter Cream
- Plain
- Prune
- Raspberry
Pączki are one of the most popular treats every year from Oakmont Bakery. Back in 2017, a rep for the beloved bakery told us that on busy days during the season, they’ll sell between 700 at 1,000 of the softball-sized treats.
Pączki can be ordered online in advance, and are also available for walk-ins.
