Tie One On September 14 with Delightful Pastries’ Booze-filled Drunken Donut “Paczki”. It’s National Cream Filled Donut Day

Lucky for us, you don’t have to wait until Fat Tuesday to celebrate Delightful Pastries’ Paczki. September 14 is National Cream-Filled Donut Day and the perfect time to tie one on with Delightful Pastries’ famous Drunken “Paczki” Donut. You heard us right. This delightful pastry (a traditional Polish doughnut) is filled with booze and cream. Dobra Bielinski, pastry chef and co-owner of Delightful Pastries, keeps her three Chicago bakeries stocked with paczki all year long. On any given day, you can choose strawberry and whipped cream, raspberry jelly or custard topped with chocolate fudge paczki. Or, you can sample "drunken" paczki in scrumptious varieties like vodka and vanilla bean custard, Patron XO Cocoa with chocolate custard, and orange liqueur and passion fruit jelly. As if anyone needed a special day to celebrate, why not Saturday, September 14 on National Cream-Filled Donut Day?
