Holiday Sweets Sampler Box for 4

The Holiday Sampler Box is full of Sehnert’s Bakery’s handmade holiday goodies that are great for sharing with family and friends or stashing in the pantry through the season. The Holiday Spice Cake is a perfect blend of apples, candied fruits, and nuts. The candied pecans are roasted with a generous coating of brown sugar and cinnamon. The remaining items are recipes that date back to the beginning of Sehnert’s Bakery in 1956 and they’re all cooked in the same copper pots. The highlights are coconut and peanut brittle, the sure signs that the holidays are in the air!

The Sehnert family has been baking since the 1500s, and in 1897 Richard Sehnert brought the family bakery from his native Germany to America. Ten branches of the Sehnert family opened bakeries in the US during the 1900s, but today only one remains. Sehnert’s Bakery has been a cornerstone of the southwest Nebraska town of McCook since being founded by Walt and Jean Sehnert in 1957, carried into the 21st century under the ownership of Walt and Jean’s son Matt and his wife Shelley, and today it’s owned by Sehnert family friends Andrew and Alix Ambriz, along with their sons. In 2019, the bakery was honored by the James Beard Foundation with their prestigious America’s Classics Award for their Bieroc.
