Celebrate Mardi Gras 2023 with king cake and paczki Polish donuts from bakeries in Phoenix and Tempe including Bashas', Barb's and Europa Pastry.
Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, on Feb. 21 marks a popular time to satisfy your sweet tooth before Lent.
In the United States, Pączki Day is celebrated on Fat Tuesday. Pączki are Polish doughnuts filled with jam, custard or other sweet fillings, and often dusted or glazed with sugar on top. Different variations exist, including the Midwestern bismarck doughnuts. King cake is another popular treat associated with Mardi Gras. Louisiana-style king cake is typically shaped like a braided ring with purple, green and gold sugar on top. Like pączki, king cake can also be found in varied forms, such as the Rosca de Reyes sold at Phoenix panaderías on Three Kings' Day.
Traditionally, a baby figurine symbolizing Jesus is hidden inside the cake and whoever gets the piece with the baby must host the next Mardi Gras party or buy the next king cake. If you're looking to get in the spirit of Mardi Gras, here are nine places in metro Phoenix where you can find king cake or pączki. To guarantee a cake, it's best to place an order in advance.Seven years after closing the family's longstanding cafe, husband-and-wife team Carl and Agnieszka Makowski reopened their retail shop. They make both king cake and pączki. People can expect a wider variety of pączki flavors than what they typically offer year-round.
