Today we celebrate with a pastry that is dripping with goodness and can be enjoyed with either a cup of tea or coffee or an after dinner treat.
According to nationaldaycalendar.com, the sticky bun "known as “schnecken” meaning snail, the sticky bun is rolled into a sweet spiral resembling its German name. Still considered to be a Pennsylvania specialty, many believed the sticky bun's origin in the United States began in the 19th century. German settlers brought their baking traditions with them when they began settling in and around Philadelphia.
FUN FACT: The sticky bun is a cousin of the cinnamon roll, caramel roll and monkey bread."
