Founded by Ray Kubly in 1926, we started out selling fine Wisconsin cheeses and eventually added sausages, hams and handcrafted baked goods and confections. With the nation’s largest hand-decorating bakery, we proudly combine the latest creations with award-winning Petits Fours, Butter Toffee, Christmas Fruitcakes and other favorites. The Swiss Colony is your edible gift headquarters…and we’re a name you can trust, because we’ve been doing food gifts right for more than 95 years. Merry Christmas Petits Fours Spell out the sweetest season’s greetings of all! Our Master Bakers carefully select the richest butter cremes to pair with chocolate confection and Swiss Creme. After layering the moist cakes and drenching each Petit Four in sweet coatings, each cakelet is brought to the artists’ table for precise hand decoration. Each luscious little layer cake is a piece of art…every nibble an indulgence in sweet aromas and tempting, creamy taste. Gift box of 36; .25 oz. each. Buy 2 or more boxes and save! Each Gift Box Contains: • Red Velvet • Strawberry • Double Chocolate • Vanilla • .25 oz. each • 36 Petits Fours per box • Buy 2 or more and save! The Petits Fours experts. In 1961, our founder, Ray Kubly, was throwing a party. He asked Master Pastry Chef Horst Hart for a special bite-sized dessert guests could enjoy as they pleased. Horst replied, “You want Petits Fours!” And he made hundreds of them...all by hand. They were a huge hit, and when Ray offered them in The Swiss Colony catalog, Horst dipped over 60,000 Petits Fours by himself. Today, our Wisconsin bakery can make more Petits Fours in a day than Horst made in all of 1961, but they’re still hand-decorated…and sure to make your loved ones feel special. Food Gifts from Our Family to Yours When you order gifts from The Swiss Colony, you can be sure your friends and family will love them. That’s because they were made by us and the people we know.
