Baking Gift Ideas
Are you shopping for another baker this holiday season and need some ideas? Or maybe you just need some ideas to treat yourself. Either way, I’ve got you covered!
I’ve compiled a list of my favorite items that I believe are the Best Gifts for Bakers. Time to share a little baker love with quality kitchen gear. This list includes kitchen tools, speciality items, baking supplies, kitchen must haves and cookbooks.
All items listed below are ones I personally own and love or have heard amazing reviews about. Some are affiliate links below, thanks for helping support Two Cups Four.
Must Have Tools
- Kitchen Scale- Accuracy in baking is so important and I use a kitchen scale to weigh just about everything!
- Measuring Cups and Spoons– This set is magnetic and will keep everything together. I hate searching for lost measuring spoons.
- Silicone Pastry Mat – I roll all my pie crusts and bred dough on a lightly floured silicone mat.
- Wilton Pastry and Cake Decorating Kit – Piping bags and tips for frosting cupcakes and decorating festive holiday cakes.
- Pastry Brushes – Wood handled brushes for egg wash, glazes, syrups, and butter.
- Pastry Tool Set – Bench scraper, pastry cutter and brushes.
- GIR Spatulas – I love the spoonula! GIR is my go to brand for rubber spatulas.
- Mixing Bowls– I prefer bowls with rubber bottoms to prevent sliding on my counter tops.
- Maple Wood Rolling Pin – Wood rolling pins are my go to for making pie crusts.
Electric Mixers
