What: Cherry Kolaches and a Peanut Butter frosted cinnamon roll
When: July 2012
There are certain places that are legendary in my family. The Clarkson Bakery is one of them. If we are up in the West Point area of Nebraska, someone has to go over to the bakery and get some kolacky (which is apparently both the single and plural form of the word according to dictionary.com). For those of you who are confused, kolacky are kind of like danishes without the extra sugar glaze and frosting. And the bakery isn't like just the next town over for all you urbanites. It's like a 30 mile drive down the road for these things. And then back.
So during the last reunion weekend, not only did we get kolacky from the bakery one day while at the hotel, but I actually got to go to the bakery for the first time! Think of the smallest downtown you can think of. That's bigger than Clarkson. The gas station across the street had two pumps that were the old fashioned kind. No awning. No digital screen.
Anyways, the bakery is tiny and doesn't actually have donuts, so I'm sorry if some of you thought this was going to be about donuts. I don't know what would have given you that idea :-) But the kolacky are really good (not super sweet, but good fruit flavor). The cinnamon roll was alright, I'd just stick with the kolacky next time we're in the area. Which will be for next years family reunion!
