BATESVILLE, Ind. — We're just over a month away from the middle of February, and you know what that means ...
No, we're not talking about Valentine's Day. We're talking about something even better: Cherry Thing-a-Ling season!
Schmidt Bakery in Batesville, Indiana, is now taking online orders for its Thing-a-Lings, which will then be shipped straight to your house on Feb. 12, 13 or 20. A box of one dozen Thing-a-Lings costs $20.
While online orders have begun, customers who want to get their Thing-a-Lings in person can still visit the bakery this Presidents Day weekend, Feb. 15-19. The part fritter, part doughnut treats will be available from 4 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Thing-a-Lings have been a staple at Schmidt Bakery since owner Clem Schmidt first created them in the winter of 1975. Nearly 50 years later, people are still lining up outside the bakery's doors to get their fix.
