A towering Kransekage for New Years eve
In the spirit of New Year's celebrations, we craft the traditional Kransekage, a tower of delight made from almond paste and egg whites.
Old-timey danish “apple cake”
Our Danish æblekage is a harmonious blend of textures and flavors. It begins with a base of oats, candied in honey and butter, providing a crunchy contrast to the spiced apple sauce layer, rich with cardamom and vanilla. Topped with a cloud of whipped cream and a sprinkle of festive decorations, this trifle is a celebration of tradition with a personal touch.
Mini Pumpkin Pies: A Nordic Twist on a Halloween Treat
As the Halloween spirit engulfs our Nordic home, we find ourselves eagerly embracing the festive season with a batch of delightful mini pumpkin pies, baked to perfection in a muffin tin and topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Harnessing the flavors of local pumpkins that thrive in our Nordic climate, we opt for either the sweet Hokkaido or the versatile butternut squash, creating a rich and flavorful pumpkin puree from scratch.
Miniature Småkakor Scones
Unearth the perfect balance between Scandinavian Småkakor and British scones with our recipe for miniature scones. Less sweet than a cookie, but sweeter than a biscuit, these mini scones are the perfect companions for tea, picnics, or simply to enjoy a moment of quietude. They're as versatile as they are delicious, and they're waiting for you to discover them.
Wild Blueberry Muffins
In our homestead, baking blueberry muffins is more of a joyful dance in the kitchen than following a strict recipe. Inspired by a surprise visit from some French travellers, we're sharing our recipe with you. The freshly picked blueberries, a handful of nuts, perhaps a dash of caramel - all are added until the mix just feels right. The end result? Delicious, warm muffins that are a bit of a delightful mess to extract from the pan. Each one is a unique, flavorful joy just waiting to be savored.
Scandinavian Blueberry Butter Cake
Infuse your next gathering with the sweet taste of summer with our Blueberry Butter Cake! A simple yet irresistible dessert that's buttery-rich and dotted with handfuls of fresh, tart blueberries. Cut it into pie slices for a casual backyard picnic, or top individual squares with a quick blueberry whipped cream for an elegant touch. Whichever way you choose to serve it, this cake is a celebration of the humble blueberry in every delightful bite.
Lemon Cupcake with Buttercream and Wood Sorrel sprinkles
Delight your taste buds and bring a touch of nature into your home with these lemon cupcakes adorned with freshly plucked shamrocks. It's a fun and creative activity for kids, adding a playful twist to the sour notes of the lemon. Treat your loved ones with a sweet surprise that brings warmth and joy to every bite.
