Danish immigrants brought the kringle to Racine, Wisconsin, in the late 1800s; by 1949 the O&H Danish Bakery in Racine was producing them at scale. The Wisconsin Legislature declared the kringle Wisconsin's official state pastry in 2013. Today Madison-area bakeries including Clasen's European Bakery in Middleton bake kringles year-round, especially around the Christmas holidays, with almond, cherry, pecan and cream cheese fillings the traditional canonical options.
