Paczki Day 2024

Paczki Day 2024

Are you ready to celebrate Fat Tuesday? We will be ready with a host of goodies including the famous Polish Paczki!

Paczki Day 2024

Paczki (pronounced poonch-key) is a traditional Polish donut eaten on Fat Tuesday. Like many Fat Tuesday food traditions, paczki are eaten in an attempt to fill up on sweets before the fasting of Lent begins. So before you head into Ash Wednesday, come check out one reason we love Fat Tuesday with one of our favorite donuts!

Filling Options

Our version of this donut is a simple formula of a sweet donut dough with plenty of filling options. We will have our regular filled donuts including buttercream, custard, jelly, and lemon. Paczki day options will include strawberry, strawberry cream cheese, lemon cream cheese, apricot, blueberry, cherry, cream cheese, and more! Some donuts will be dipped in complimenting icing flavors and others will be glazed or rolled in sugar. We are sure to have a bevy of flavor options to suit your sweet tooth.

Ordering

We will be taking orders for these delicious donuts up until February 10 (this may change based on demand). If you don’t see a filling or flavor combination you like, give us a call. If we have the availability, we may be able to accommodate your choice. Paczki are $2.50 each or $26.25 per dozen for the 2024 season.

Happy Paczki Day!

Our bakers and donut decorators will be in super early on Fat Tuesday just to make these special donuts and king cakes! We highly encourage everyone to order paczki and king cakes to ensure we have the flavor wanted. We will make extra donuts for the store but we cannot garantee the flavor options you may want will be available when you arrive.

As always, we are thankful for your continued support of our small family bakery. We look forward to serving you this Paczki Day!

Christmas Cookies!

Christmas Cookies!

Christmas cookies play an important role in many family traditions this time of year. No matter if they play the main character on a Christmas party dessert table, or they sit on a kitchen counter while family come to visit, cookies are always a great item to have on hand. And since we offer a wide selection of cookies, you’re sure to find the perfect treat for any holiday event this season.

Iced Cutout Christmas Cookies

Our iced cutouts are our most popular cookie any time of year. Cookies are hand cut from our buttery sugar cookie dough and which we bake until golden. Then our amazingly skilled decorators turn these cookies into works of art. Using a fondant-type icing, we hand decorate each cookie. While this process allows us to add details and create the wonderful pieces you see in our store, it also means each cookie is never exactly the same. Some more popular shapes include polar bears, gingy boys, reindeer faces, frosty faces, and Santa faces. We also offer weekly themed cookies that are inspired by beloved characters. The firm icing on these Christmas cookies allows for them to be individually bagged (provided we have enough notice and the cookies are dry). Custom cookies and specialty shapes are available with ample notice.

Decorated Christmas Cookies

Our decorated cookies are made from our same, buttery sugar cookie dough and hand cut, but instead of the fondant-type icing used on our iced cutouts, decorated cookies are iced and decorated with our homemade buttercream icing. Sometimes people call them “puffy icing” cookies and are favored by anyone who loves our buttercream icing. Typical designs of our decorated Christmas cookies include: Santa face, Christmas tree, snowman, Rudolph, and Santa hats.

Sugar Cutout Christmas Cookies

Our sugar cutout cookies are made from our buttery sugar cookie dough. They are all hand-cut and then generously covered in various colored sugars. These cookies are great for classroom parties, quick office gifts, and stocking stuffers.  Cutout cookie shapes include Christmas lights, trees, snowman, stockings, stars, and bells.

Fancy Christmas Cookies

Fancy cookies are available throughout the year; however, the fancy cookie case is BOOMING during the holiday season. These cookies are typically bite-size and are offered in an array of colors and flavors. These cookies are sold by the pound and make wonderful cookie trays and holiday gift boxes. Bachelor Buttons are among the most popular fancy cookies.

 

Gingerbread Man

What is Christmas without a gingerbread man? Our gingerbread men are made with our family honey boy gingerbread dough. Our gingerbread is a long process but our Gingerbread Men or Honey Boys, are available throughout the year. Gingerbread is hand cut from our scratch made dough and we place raisins as eyes and buttons.

Merry Christmas!

No matter what Christmas cookie you decide to bring home this year, we are thankful for your continued support of our family bakery. From our house to yours, we wish you all a merry Christmas.

 

Yule Logs

Yule Logs

Making Yule Logs

What’s so special about our yule logs

Our traditional yule logs are made with our homemade sponge cake formula that has been in our family for generations. After it’s baked, we generously spread red and green buttercream icing on the layer before carefully rolling the cake into a log.

After it sets, our bakers turn the log over to our decorators.

Decorating the Yule Logs

Our decorators hand cut each log before covering them with a rich, creamy chocolate icing. When the main log is iced, a small, side log is added and iced in the same chocolate icing. Each log end is then covered in our homemade chocolate buttercream icing. Gum paste poinsettias and powdered “snow” are added for decoration.

Storing the Yule Log

We recommend storing your yule log in a refrigerator until you’re ready to serve. You can leave it in the box you bring it home in or if you have another storage container, that can work as well. When choosing the best time to pull out your cake for your party, keep the weather in mind. Weather plays a big role in many baked goods and since we do live in Florida, humidity often creates issues for chocolate desserts. The yule logs can sit out on a table in an air-conditioned room for a bit, but we leave that to your discretion.

Serving your Yule Log

Yule log, Cinottis Bakery, Christmas Cake, Buche de Noel, poinsettia, log, forest, snowThese logs are just like most jelly-roll esq desserts. You can slice them as thin or as thick as you desire. While the flowers are made of gum paste, they are not edible. Everything else on the log can be enjoyed.

Any leftovers you may have can be stored in an airtight container for up to five days.

We wish you the happiest of holiday seasons and hope to continue to serve you and your family for years to come.

Merry Christmas from Cinottis!

Gingerbread House Kits!

Gingerbread House Kits!

Gingerbread for Christmas

Gingerbread houses are a staple in many family Christmas traditions. That’s why you see gingerbread house kits in just about every store during the holiday season. Some stores even put them out as early as October.

If you’re looking for a way to make great family memories and have a sweet treat in the mix, our gingerbread house kits are the way to go.

Gingerbread House Kits

Our gingerbread house kits come complete with the pre-assembled freshly baked house, candy, and freshly made, royal icing. You can get up to six different candy selections, an icing bag for piping decorations, and festive rings for added scenery.

The House

We begin baking our made-from-scratch gingerbread houses in late November when, theoretically, the humidity in Florida is lower. Our gingerbread house dough formula is one we’ve used for more than fifty years. Making our gingerbread is a huge event which includes using almost every member of our baking staff to complete. Each batch is carefully weighed, rolled, cut, and baked before cooling and setting up.

The Process

Our gingerbread house process is a four-day event.

After a day of making and baking, our bakers allow the house to set up overnight.

Day 2: Our decorators set up the base and walls using made-from-scratch royal icing

Day 3: Our decorators carefully assemble the roof and use royal icing to secure it to the base and walls.

On day 4, the house is ready to be decorated.

Ordering your Gingerbread House

We strive to keep our quality high, which is why in recent years, we have decided to keep our gingerbread house orders to a minimum. We don’t start taking orders until November 1.

You can order an entire gingerbread house kit which includes the house, candy, and icing. Or, you can opt to have the house by itself. Or, if you have your own candy, you can order the house and icing separately.

Our small house is great for individuals or a smaller household.

Our large house is perfect as a centerpiece. If you have children who like to compete, our large house gives plenty of roof space for each to showcase their creativity.

Order your house!

If you are looking for a quality gingerbread house kit this holiday season, give us a call. We are more than happy to help you make the best of your Christmastime.

Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice…

Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice…

Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice…

As our countdown to Pumpkin Donuts rolls on, we are busy preparing our signature Spice mixture that will go into many of our autumn products. The combination of spices is a tightly held family secret formula and has been dubbed a ‘Pumpkin Spice’ paradise by many of our customers. And while this Pumpkin Spice may be nice, we are often asked why we don’t begin our pumpkin season when the ‘other guys’ start theirs.

The answer is simple.

Tradition.

Pumpkin Spice is our autumn treat

It seems as soon as the school year begins, stores line their shelves with Halloween costumes, Christmas décor, and of course, pumpkin spiced EVERYTHING. And while we love each holiday, we can also appreciate the importance of slowing down to enjoy the final days of summer.

We regard the tradition of decorating for Christmas after Thanksgiving just as much as we favor filling our shelves with pumpkin spice in autumn. This hard held tradition is a major reason we choose to hold off on anything pumpkin related until the end of September.

The traditional start date for our Pumpkin Donuts has always been the last Friday in September. This year, we will roll out the delicious bites of pumpkin goodness September 27.

Pumpkin Donuts

We have spent years perfecting the best flavors to create a one of a kind donut that is unmatched. If you’ve never experienced the taste of our secret spice blend, you are certainly in for a treat on September 27.

You can pre-order them to be rolled in a cinnamon-sugar blend or enjoy the traditional glazed pumpkin donuts.

Pumpkin Donut Premier

If you’re really in a rush to try these tasty bites, join us for our one-hour premier at midnight on September 27. We open our doors from 12:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. on September 27 to give die-hard Pumpkin Donut fans the opportunity to enjoy the first batch of donuts for the 2019 season.

In recent years, the crowds have grown, the excitement has grown, and the love of pumpkin spice has grown.

If you’re up for a good time at your local neighborhood bakery, we invite you to come on down. Our midnight premier is truly a fun experience for everyone.

Other Pumpkin Spice Products

Pumpkin Donuts aren’t our only pumpkin spice infused item during the autumn months. We produce a variety of products such as Harvest Rings, Pumpkin Muffins, Pumpkin Nut Breads, Spice Cake, Spice Cupcakes, and of course, Pumpkin Pie.

Harvest Rings

Our Harvest Ring is similar to a Bundt Cake. We add our special blend of spices to this pumpkin cake and bake it to perfection. Then we drizzle a thin glaze over the entire cake while it’s still warm to seal all the warm pumpkin flavor inside.

Pumpkin Muffins and Pumpkin Nut Bread

For a quick morning breakfast or a light afternoon snack, our Pumpkin Muffins or Nut Bread can be the perfect item. Each bite of the muffin or nut bread will be bursting with pumpkin and spice flavors.

Spice Cake and Spice Cupcakes

For something a little less pumpkin-y and a little more spice-y, take home a Spice Cake or Spice Cupcake. This is sure to be a flavor you can certainly enjoy all season. We infuse our delicious vanilla cake with ample amounts of our signature spice blend. Our decorators then cover and fill the cake with generous helpings of our homemade cream cheese icing before sprinkling our spice mix around the edges. 

Pumpkin Pie

The pie that started it all…

Our Pumpkin Pie has been around longer than any of the Pumpkin Spice products listed above. We have been making this pie with our signature spice blend that has remained a family favorite for more than 30 years. No matter if you top it with whipped cream or simply grab a fork and eat it straight from the pan, our Pumpkin Pie can be just what you need after a long day.

Pumpkin Spice is worth the wait

We hope you will join us for another amazing pumpkin season. No matter if you’re joining in the Pumpkin Donut fun, grab a Pumpkin Muffin or Nut Bread, bring a smile to someone with a Spice Cupcake, or simply grab a fork and dig into a Pumpkin Pie, we hope you enjoy each and every bite of our homemade goodies.

As always, we make our products on site using the best ingredients. We use non-GMO flour and never add preservatives or chemicals of any kind to our products.

Our philosophy is simple: If we wouldn’t serve it to our family, we won’t serve it to yours.

Thank you for your continued support of our family business.
