While in past years the store cranks out an average of 6,000 of the Polish donuts, more preorders this year prompted them to prepare 9,000 to 10,000. Paczki are a deep-fried spheres of dough that have a sweet filling. “They are just a glorified Bismarck,” said Scott Johnson, bakery director. The bakery offers seven different fillings with three types of coatings. Here, Brandy Messersmith fills powdered sugar paczki.(Terri Castelaz/Daily News photo)
