Fun to put this big order together complete with extras for decorating the half/small Christmas Almond Tea Rings. Thanks for all that have ordered! I have a little more room in my baking schedule if anyone else was thinking of Scandinavian treats for the Holidays.

Happy Advent! This is the best time of year for Scandinavian treats. The almond tea ring is a classic for Christmas! Made with a delicious filling of homemade almond paste, cream cheese, cinnamon sugar, slivered almonds and optional raisins. And of course Pepperkakor is the fancy sister of gingerbread! Cardamom rolls, and of course Chocolate Cardamom Cake. Order sooner than later especially the week of Christmas!

So it’s been a busy Fall going back to teaching part time but this busy baker is selling the good stuff at the Mount Olivet Lutheran Church Holiday Boutique this Saturday, November 5th, from 9am-2pm. I’ll have Chocolate CardaMom Cakes in different sizes (including new tea cake and mini Bundt), Pepperkakor cookies (free kids cookie too!), my new Swedish Rum Punsch filled chocolates, and of course, CardaMom Buns! Come to the bazaar to shop and stop by for a little Fika (and maybe a Bundt cake to take home 😋). 5025 Knox Ave S, MPLS

Hey baking enthusiasts! Sorry for the radio silence but summer brought an amazing 2.5 week trip with family to Ireland followed by a less than great two weeks of recovery for the and but it was totally worth it! It’s been a busy couple days of baking including a fun custom chocolate CardaMom cake for a 2 year old’s birthday! I love making birthday cakes (post coming soon). I’m going to be busy again until mid august but I’ll be ready for more orders then!

It’s here! For those that know me chocolate is my vice. And this baby is my newest creation and a great 4th addition to the CardaMom menu: Gluten Free Chocolate Cardamom Cake. Yep! Gluten free folks! Soft, brownie like texture with a choice of toppings- chocolate ganache, simple glaze, mini chips, sprinkles, powdered sugar- we can customize for your needs. $25 for a standard sized Bundt.

Homemade almond paste = a labor of love.

Hello Scandinavian treats enthusiasts! I’ve been wanting to share my inspiration and back story for Cardamom for awhile and after a few crazy months here it is- finally! My grandmother’s family emigrated from Sweden in 1925. She connected with her cousin later on and since then we’ve had three generations of cousin connections. Our Swedish family is generous and about the most fun folks in the world. Grandma/cousin Kristina served us many formal coffee fikas and inspired me to learn how to make Swedish bakes.
I’ve got a few Mother’s Day orders in already but could squeeze in a few more. Also start thinking ahead to graduation parties or other spring gatherings that could use a special treat!

Hello my Scandinavian treat loving friends! I’m back. It was a really rough but important and historic few weeks with the Minneapolis teacher and ESP strike. One good outcome was a finalized recipe for my almond coffee cake. Made with cardamom dough (duh!), filled with HOMEMADE almond paste, cream cheese, cinnamon brown sugar, almonds, and optional raisins. You top it with included almond icing when ready to serve. Two size options that can act as a share and tear, or cut slices like a pie to reveal the fun swirls.
Small- serves 6-12. $20
Large- serves 12-24 $40
