August 7, 2009
Milwaukee – On Thursday, the Wisconsin State Fair opened it doors in West Allis for an 11-day run of the fair. The Wisconsin Bakers Association (WBA) claims that they have produced hundreds of thousands of cream puffs during the fair. 52 cream puffs are sold every minute and 6 sales windows are opened during the fair.
“You haven’t been to the fair until you’ve had your cream puff.” It is estimated that at current fairs one out of every four fairgoers consumes a cream puff. The web site www.originalcreampuffs.com reports at least 38,003 of cream puffs sold so far!
Last year in 2008, WBA sold 381,926 of Cream Puffs, 12,847 of Blue Ribbon Brownies, and including 6,034 of Colossal Chocolate Chip Cookies breaking their record from 2007 of 375,000. In 2008, their total sales were $1,119,520 and 45.9% of 872,458 fair attendees were served. A single day sales ever was recorded at $127,254 by WBA.
“Had a $3.50 sweet, creamy, and delicious WI State Fair cream puff yesterday on opening day. My taste buds erupted with an esurient cheap stimulus,” H. Nelson Goodson, an avid fair attendee said while smiling.
The Wisconsin State Fair runs from August 6-16.
