What’s better than a butter cookie?  A bakery butter cookie with rainbow sprinkles!  As you can see from the photo below, Fingerhut Bakery in downtown North Judson, Indiana has more than a few. that yummy bakery smell just hits you when you open the door.  I do believe it made me slightly giddy.

There was a very steady stream of folks passing in and out buying an assortment of bakery items which tells me one thing: it’s all good!  But, then again, I don’t think I’ve ever met a bakery I didn’t like.  The bakery itself is small, with a really neat old wood display case along the back wall, and cases filled with cookies, cakes, pastries, breads, and bagels.

They’ve been in business for sixty-three years, and with the number of people who came and went while we were there, it‘s obvious they will be around for many, many more!

Apparently Fingerhut Bakery specializes in something called “Chocolate Delight Cake” but I didn’t notice that until after we had left with a ginormous cream puff (for me), a bunny train cookie (for the kid), a ½ pound of butter cookies (for me though I did share with the kid absolutely and completely against my will), and a pumpkin roll (for hubby, who doesn‘t want to share with anyone) for $12 and change.  Now that is money I consider well spent!

If you are in the North Judson area, stop by for something sweet.  Fingerhut Bakery is right downtown on the corner.  You can’t miss it (I couldn’t even miss it and I have a knack for getting lost and turned around).   They really do have the largest assortment I have ever seen in a small town…so far.

So I missed out on the Chocolate Delight Cake.  How high on the list of priorities should that one be?
