RACINE, WI β€” Kringle, a Danish-made flaky, oval-shaped pastry with fruit or nut filling, has been the Wisconsin state pastry since 2013. Racine has been named the "Kringle Capital" of the world for even longer.

This year, O&H Danish Bakery β€” headquartered in the Racine area β€” is rolling out a new Kringle for the 2019 holiday season.

Santa’s Secret Christmas Kringle starts with a "secret" red velvet cake recipe, which is then layered with a silky vanilla pudding. The Kringle is topped with frosting and garnished with sprinkles.
