Karen’s Kuchens is a small-batch bakery based in Larimore, North Dakota, where Karen Schwandt handcrafts German-Russian style kuchens from a family recipe.

I ordered through Goldbelly, which states: "Somewhere between a cake, pie, and custard, Kuchens came to North Dakota via Germans from Russia and are 100% better when made by a grandma."

Each kuchen features a tender, buttery yeast crust topped with a rich custard and fillings that range from classics like apple, peach, and prune to creative twists like almond crème and cotton candy. I had to try the juneberry, which was all-aroumd unique.

It was a busy weekend because I was bopping all over the state to hit up events, food trucks and other small business owners to show some support.
