It's typical on Fat Tuesday for the line to be out the door at Haegele's Bakery in Mayfair. Their top sellers, without question, are the fasnachts.
"Some in my house like just the cinnamon sugar. Some like the powdered. So, I get a mix of both," she said.
No doubt about it, the German and Pennsylvania Dutch doughnuts are a hit.
This bakery has been around for 89 years.

"I guess it's the childhood memories. Growing up and mom saying, 'Oh, tomorrow is doughnut day,' and getting up, getting ready for school and the doughnuts being there. So, it's the tradition that you just carry on."
Customer Lisa said she feels a deep connection to the place. It's all about family.
"This is my first time coming here," said Colleen. "So, I heard about it and thought, 'Why not?'"
She came away with a box of a dozen fasnachts and, maybe, a new tradition.
