History of the Wisconsin State Fair Cream Puff

The Wisconsin State Fair Cream Puff has been a beloved tradition since its debut in 1924. This iconic dessert, known for its light, flaky pastry filled with sweet, fluffy cream, has become a symbol of the fair itself.

Initially introduced by the Wisconsin Bakers Association, the cream puff quickly gained popularity, becoming a must-try treat for fairgoers.

Over the decades, the cream puff has seen only slight changes, maintaining its classic recipe to preserve its nostalgic appeal.

The fair's cream puff pavilion, where thousands are made and sold daily during the event, draws long lines of eager fans each year.

Celebrating its 100th anniversary, the cream puff remains a testament to tradition, bringing together generations of families who attend the fair. This centennial milestone highlights not only the dessert's enduring popularity but also its role in the cultural and culinary heritage of Wisconsin.
