Family Traditions, Cherished Roots & The Rhythm of Our Home
From childhood memories in grandma's kitchen to the sunny community of Southwest Florida, here is why I bake and what goes into every handcrafted batch.
Baking from Memory, Baking for Family
Welcome to Two E Goods! My kitchen is built on family traditions from both sides of my family. Growing up, my Dutch grandparents always brought regional bakery treats when they visited, and trips to little Dutch shops around the Midwest set the bar for the authentic flavors I loved.
On the other side, my grandma passed down her top-secret poppyseed cake recipe that we spent hours baking together. Living in Southwest Florida, I couldn't find those flavors anywhere nearby. So, I started baking them myself—dialing in those traditional Dutch pastries and family recipes until they tasted just like my childhood memories.
I wanted Two E Goods to represent the full rhythm of our home. That’s why you’ll find authentic European heritage pastries right alongside my kids' favorite Tulip Energy Bites—a wholesome, chocolate-dipped everyday snack I shape to match my roots. Bringing my family along, meeting our neighbors, and sharing what I make by hand is what this is all about.

Each recipe we bake connects back to a cherished family memory or the busy everyday life of our home.

Hours Spent Baking Side-by-Side
On the other side of my family, my grandma passed down her top-secret poppyseed cake recipe that we spent hours baking together. It’s an authentic old-fashioned pound cake baked to golden perfection, then bathed in a warm glaze that creates an unforgettable melt-in-your-mouth crust.
