Let’s Get Sticky With It

Whether you're grabbing one from your favorite bakery or pulling a tray fresh from the oven, there's no denying the gooey, nutty joy of a sticky bun. February 21 is National Sticky Bun Day, and it’s time to celebrate these caramel-glazed spirals of doughy goodness.

Sticky buns—often confused with cinnamon rolls—are in a delicious class of their own, thanks to that luscious layer of melted brown sugar, butter, and often pecans or walnuts baked into the bottom of the pan (which becomes the top when flipped!).

From “Schnecken” to Sticky Buns

Sticky buns are a proud part of Pennsylvania Dutch culinary tradition. Originally known as “Schnecken,” these treats were brought to the U.S. by German settlers in the 18th century, especially those who settled in Philadelphia. While cinnamon rolls often use icing or cream cheese frosting, sticky buns bake in their sugary syrup, resulting in a more rustic, caramelized finish.

Whether you call them sticky buns, caramel rolls, or monkey bread, the idea is the same: indulgent, warm, and just messy enough to be fun.

How to Celebrate National Sticky Bun Day

  • Bake Your Own: Try a traditional Schnecken recipe or a modern take with orange zest or cardamom.
  • Coffee Pairing: Sticky buns are practically made to go with a dark roast or café au lait.
  • Support Local Bakeries: Philly bakeries are famous for these—check out spots like Beiler’s Doughnuts or Metropolitan Bakery.
  • #StickyBunGoals: Share your sticky success with friends or tag your favorite bakery.
