These are the eight essentials that every baker eventually wishes they had at home. For those who are looking to upgrade your stuff, this guide is also for you. Don’t skimp on these tools, because they often last a lifetime.

Ultimate Baking Guide

 

Nonstick 6-Piece Bakeware Set

A great nonstick bakeware set is beyond essential. This Amazon Basics set allows you to make cookies, brownies, loafs, cakes, as well as cupcakes. You’re all set to bake practically anything. I love that it doesn’t break the bank and all of the Amazon Basics bakeware that I own has held up nicely.

Buy It: Nonstick Bakeware Set ($25.99 on amazon.com)

 

Food Coloring Set of 12

The worst thing that can happen when making a cake, cupcakes or cookies is not having the proper food coloring in your recipe. I now make sure I always have food coloring at home, especially since my daughter is into baking with me. Not to mention your desserts will look great, simply by adding some color to your frosting.

Cake Decorating Kit

If you want to make cakes and want them to look pretty, you need a kit. Mastering cake decorating can be a challenge, but its super fun. I find that having the right tools makes it so much easier! A big secret is to take your time and practice, practice, practice. Mastering the pastry bag takes patience, but it makes it so much easier to decorate cakes and cupcakes.

Mixing Bowl Set of 6

I love this set of bowls because you can use it for so many things! Once you spend a lot of time in your kitchen, it’s essential you have a lot of bowls. Use these for mixing ingredients, serving veggies or fruits, tossing salads, or even serving popcorn. Put anything you want in them!

Kitchen Aid 5 Quart Stand Mixer

This is THE BEST stand mixer. I have one and love it and use is almost weekly. It’s such an amazing investment because you can do so many different things with it. You can make breads, cakes, doughs, icing, and so much more. Having one changed the way I cook and bake. It’s amazing.

Stainless Steel Measuring Cups and Spoons

When you bake you need precise measurements, especially when you’re learning. Baking is all about following instructions and it takes a ton of experience to properly eyeball a measurment. Once you learn what ingredients to mix, then you can be a little flexible on your amounts. But you’ll still need measure more often than not.

Wire Cooling Rack

I used to think that cooling racks were unnecessary, but they are the best for baking! If you bake a lot of cookies then you’ll need somewhere to place them out of the oven. Having this makes it easier for your desserts to cool while you continue baking, or start your clean up.

Buy It: Wire Cooling Rack ($20.98 on amazon.com)

 

2 Pack Donut Pan

Being able to make donuts and bagels is super fun, but you need this specific pan to do it. This is definitely a fun purchase, but if you have one of these then you’ll be able to make delicious, healthier donuts and bagels whenever you want. Your kids will thank you.
