Paczki Day (also known as Shrove Tuesday or Mardi Gras) is coming up soon. Does anyone know of a bakery that will ship paczki?

Pronounced "poonch key", it is simply a jelly doughnut with a little extra jelly in it for those who have never heard of it.

I know when I first moved out of MI, no one in KY ever heard of them - but Meijers had them in KY - not as good as Detroit, but not bad.

(fifth entry down mentions that the bakery ships)

You might also try looking for other bakeries in Hamtramck and give them a call. There is a large Polish community in Chicago, you might try an online search for bakeries in this area.

For the uninitiated, paczki are not just jelly doughnuts. The dough consists of a lot of eggs and butter, making for a much richer and lay much heavier in your gut dough; not at all like the the usual doughnut dough.
