Pink Raspberry Birthday Cake
My second born just turned 3 years old and her only request was a pink cake. I quite enjoy cake, but typically “pink” cakes are something I wouldn’t bother eating. Usually they are flavorless and uninspired next to their chocolate, carrot, or spiced contemporaries. I made two goals 1.) to create a pink cake I…

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies have a very unassuming name, but they are anything but ordinary. The texture is always perfect, they rise up beautifully, stay soft and chewy and there’s a little salt that sets off the chocolate perfectly.

Betsy’s 1, 2, 3 English Toffee
You can’t tell me that the holidays are done! It’s not truly over until you are passed out in a sugar induced coma on New Year’s Day. (I know we were healthy yesterday, but that earns us the right to be gluttons for another few days, right?) Well, we here at Two Carolines have got…

In my time here, I’ve made good friends with a wonderful (and of course very attractive, as northern europeans tend to be) Swedish couple. Girl Swede and I like to get together and bake during…

Double Dark Chocolate Muffins
Chocolate for breakfast is kind of a thing for us here at the King casa – one of my children would go to school hungry if I didn’t give her something slathered in Nutella every morning. The only time she’ll make an exception is when there’s a chocolate muffin involved. This is only one of…

Double Chocolate Chili Cookies
Last year, at around this time, my parents came to visit me in Berlin. We went to as many Christmas markets as we could and took a road trip through other parts of Europe. It was so wonderful! One of our trip highlights was here in Berlin. We went to get this amazing rich and…
