Award-Winning Baking, Year After Year
At Uncle Mike’s Bake Shoppe, awards aren’t something we chase — they’re something we earn by doing the same thing every day: baking exceptional products with real ingredients and real care.
From local community honors to statewide recognition, these awards reflect the trust our customers place in us and the standards we hold ourselves to — batch after batch, year after year.
What These Awards Mean to Us
Awards are nice.
Consistency is better.
Each recognition represents:
- Long fermentation times instead of shortcuts
- Real butter, real fillings, real flavor
- Scratch baking done the hard way — because it tastes better
- A team that shows up early and cares deeply
Most importantly, they reflect the people who choose Uncle Mike’s again and again.
A Few Highlights We’re Proud Of
- North American Kringle Champion (Judges and People's Choice)
- Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin - 2018
- Best of the Bay - Best Bakery - 19 years running!
- "Best Idea" One of the Finest Raisin Breads in North America 2008
- Best Kringle Competition 1st Place and Peoples Choice 2019
These recognitions span multiple years and locations — a reflection of consistency, not a one-time win.
Why It Matters (Especially If It’s Your First Visit)
If you’re new here, awards are a quick way to understand what regulars already know:
- Our Kringle isn’t trendy — it’s time-tested
- Our recipes aren’t mass-produced — they’re refined
- Our quality doesn’t depend on who’s working that day
Whether you’re picking up a single pastry or ordering for a crowd, you’re getting something that’s been proven, not just promoted.
Thank You
Every award starts with a customer choosing us.
