History of O&H Bakery

We have been serving Danish pastries and baked goods in the Racine, Wisconsin area since 1949.

Our Grandfather, Christian Olesen, opened the first O&H Bakery after 25 years of mastering the trade, starting when he was a teenage boy.  He began the business by relying on his Danish heritage, hands-on bakery training and traditional recipes to make delicious pastries from scratch.

Once the first bakery was well established, Christian’s son, Ray, took over the family business and, along with his wife Myrna, expanded the popular store.  During his ownership, Ray and his sons moved the bakery to larger premises in 1972 and then opened a second store which allowed customers from all around Racine to have better access to O&H Bakery’s scrumptious Danish pastries and cakes.  Ray began sharing his delicious creations across the country in the late 1960’s, originally shipping our Kringle in old shirt boxes to protect them for the journey.

Now in its fourth generation of family ownership, our Danish bakery has continued to stick to its Viking roots and passion for quality scratch-baked pastries.  This baking technique continues to be used today with our baked goods, including our famous Kringle.  Although over time it has changed shape from the traditional pretzel form to an oval, the Kringle still boasts the succulent, flaky, light pastry which we still make using the traditional methods you would find in Old Denmark.  And there is a real bonus to this uniquely Racine style Kringle started in the 1950s - it means you get more delicious homemade filling in each bite!
