There's nothing like the amazing smell of a great bakery. Thankfully, we have some great bakeries near us here in Frederic, WI. If you're new to the area, or even just passing through, we'd like to tell you about some we think you'll love. It's a little drive to most of them, but a roomy new Buick Encore Preferred is so comfortable you'll be looking for an excuse to take the trip.

Burnett Custom Cakes

You'll find Burnett's at 112 S. Pine St in Grantsburg. You'll also find amazing service and amazing cake. The owner could not be more accommodating, and there are an endless number of flavors to choose from. They also do fantastic cupcakes, and Burnett's has mad decorating skills.

Call them, text them, or send them a message to get in touch. They'll work with you to get you exactly what you need, and they are flexible about your pickup needs. Just a few of their cake flavors include spice carrot, chocolate chip cookie, cinnamon swirl, fudge, and confetti. Top your cake with buttercream or cream cheese frosting in great flavors like peanut butter, mint, white chocolate raspberry, and much more.

Connie's Cakes and More

Head north to 26699 Sturgeon Ave N. in Webster to visit Connie's, and get the best cupcakes anywhere. Connie is a home baker, and while you'll want to go with Burnett's if you'd like the absolute top-of-the-line in terms of decorating, there is no arguing with the delicious flavors that Connie is churning out.

She's also super flexible, so give her a call or message if you have a need. She'll work with you to get the order exactly the way you want it, and as quickly as possible.

Nuthouse Breads

Sometimes you need a break from the cake, and that's where Nuthouse Breads comes in. This is an amazing place for unusual flavors in crazy-good homemade bread. You'll find them at 24687 Anchor Inn Rd in Webster.

You have to try the rye bread: it's out of this world. The cranberry wild rice bread is also super unusual (and super good). They also have savory flavors like garlic-rosemary, a nice cranberry almond, pumpkin, and a fantastic peasant bread.

Balsam Lake Brick Oven Breads

At 1305 160th St in St. Croix Falls, Balsam Lake Brick creates demand through scarcity: they only bake on the first and third Thursdays of the month, meaning the breads are only available on the following Fridays and Saturdays. It's first-come, first-served, so don't wait around.

All the flour they use is freshly ground, all the grain is organic, there's nothing artificial in the loaves, and they hand-make every loaf. They do standards like whole wheat, cinnamon raisin, and both sweet and savory focaccia, but they also do tomato basil, and old-world rye, a raisin rye, and lots of others. Sign up for their newsletter to get updated on what they're baking and what new options they're trying out.

Every one of these spots is worth the drive. If you need a vehicle that's up to the task, come see us at Larsen Auto Center.

Image via Pixabay. There's nothing like fishing to help you calm down, get away from it all, and just spend some quality time alone or with close friends. We have some nice fishing spots within decent driving distance of us here in Frederic, WI. Let us share with you the best places for your next expedition. more Coon Lake Park Right in the heart of town, at 300-322 Lake Ave S, Coon Lake Park doesn't strike you immediately as the perfect fishing spot. But once you drop a line in, you'll see. The park is small, but it's a great place to go for fishing and to take your kids for some of their earliest fishing experiences. The boardwalk and docks offer good spots, and sun fish are especially popular here. Big Butternut Lake Head south on 35 for a bit to Big Butternut Lake in Luck, WI, and you won't be disappointed. This is a great spot for walleye, northern pike, largemouth bass, and panfish. Just watch out for the eagles: they're often fishing here, too. In general, fishing here is best from 7-9 am, though it's not terrible in the afternoon, either. Just check the fishing forecast before you go for the best times. Big Trade Lake Big Trade Lake is northwest of town in Trade Lake. This is one of the cleanest and most beautiful lakes in the area, and there's also camping here if you want to make an expedition of it. Expect really good fishing here, especially for panfish. This is also a popular winter ice fishing spot, yet it remains fairly under-populated for the size, so you don't usually have to fight for a good spot. There's a couple of docks and also lots of hiking here, if you want a break off the water. In addition to panfish, you'll find walleye, largemouth bass, northern pike, and muskies. Straight Lake State Park Head over to 2700 120th St, in Luck to get to the park, and then enjoy some of the best fishing around. It can be hard to get a campsite reserved here, but if you can, it's worth it. This is widely renowned as some of the cleanest camping in the state: it's also renowned for the great pike fishing. The park has carry-in boat launches only and lots of trails that meander along the lake. This is a state park, so you'll need a valid admission sticker, which you can buy online. For 2023, the price is $28 for residents for the first vehicle in a household and $15.50 for additional vehicles in the same household. We think it's worth it for the fabulous casting. We love getting out on the water, and a dependable workhorse like the Chevy Silverado is a great way to get to any spot in the state. Get your new fishing truck from us at Larsen Auto Center today!
