Wisconsin is famous for Beer, Cheese, and Kringle, and having struck two of those off our list, we found ourselves in Racine seeking to make it a clean sweep. We did meta-review for this and decided on this very O&H location because of the stellar recommendations. We were definitely not misled. 

While the exterior of the establishment looked like a small industrial bakery straight out of the 1950s, we opened the door to reveal a wonderland of artfully arranged baked goods and gifts. There was even a little coffee bar, and we were advised of an incentive for the day of our visit of a free cup with purchase of a Kringle. Since that's exactly what brought us in, we figured it was a double-score. Only one problem remained, choosing a Kringle.

These are not the tiny, single-serving pastries you usually pick up at your local bakery or panaderia, no, these kringles were family-sized ovals with a short-axis about the same length as my forearm, and the long-axis an entire hand more! We knew that we'd have to stick with just one, having only a couple days to finish the whole thing before boarding a flight back home, but some of the varieties made us seriously consider asking about the potential of options to ship...

In the end, we got one that was called Wisconsin, consisting of a cherry and cranberry filling, and topped with cream cheese icing. We're pretty sure that those are walnuts in the image of our delightfully decadent dessert, though I don't think that's a usual topping for this divine creation... Regardless, we polished that whole thing off between the two of us over the course of about 2.5 days despite being completely convinced that it was far too much food. It kept pretty well for those few days, too, since the last bite was every bit as sweet/tart/creamy/flaky/buttery good at the first. We're still considering the option of trying to get one shipped out to us, since there's nothing like it in a 1000 mile radius from home. So good! Now if only they were closer...
