When I traveled to Krakow last spring, my first stop was at Dobra Paczkarnia for a true authentic Paczki. I ate so many paczki that week, it was everything I thought it would be and more 💕

More info to come this week on how you can place your paczki order! But if you want a sneak peek, the website is updated www.karenlillychicago.com 👀

Winter is for chocolate, especially to enjoy on Valentine’s Day! Share with your crush or not, you deserve the whole box for watching the cardiac bears this season 🐻 ❤️

This box includes;
6 milk chocolate dipped strawberries
6 dark chocolate truffles
1 dark chocolate bar

I only use and temper it so it’s shines and snaps when you eat it!

💕 You can order through my website, link in bio. You can also order through DM or email.
💕 Pick up in Darien 2/13. Time TBD
💕 Deadline to order is 2/7!

2025 was a year of change for me, both in my business and personal life. Lots of learning curves, navigating unknown obstacles and strengthening healthy relationships.

With that being said, I’m so ready for 2026!! With a commercial kitchen, the sky is the limit for my baking obsession and I can’t wait to show you what else I can make!

I hope everyone has a great new year! Cheers!

Wow what a weekend!

🎉 Chicago’s 1st cookie market with strawberry kolaczki
🎉 Purple ombré butterfly cake for a 60th Birthday
🎉 Mini millionaire bars and kolaczki
🎉 A simple one layer naked cake with fresh blueberries

It was so energizing to reconnect with other pastry chefs I haven’t seen in forever at yesterday’s event! I’m definitely going to visit everyone more next year.

Could these 2 cake orders be any more opposite?! 😂 😆 I don’t advertise that I make cakes (it’s more of if you know, you know). I used to make all the cakes at a bakery in the city for 3 years, so I can be that person too if you need one!

Don’t forget to place your orders for Christmas 🎄 🌟
