![]() This holiday gift guide truly has something for everybody: gifts for the baker who already has it all, affordable items from Amazon, personalized gifts, and everything in between. Not to mention, they’re simply just fun to have in the kitchen (even if it’s just a tiny dorm kitchenette!). From cookie scoops to tea towels, these gifts are necessities in my opinion to a really great baking experience. ![]() The majority of these gifts are from my own personal experience using them in the kitchen, or they’re gifts I personally would love to receive. Holiday baking is one of my favorite parts of this season, and in the spirit of desserts, I have compiled a list of some of the most useful and fun gift ideas specifically for the baker in your life. With the holidays right around the corner, it’s time to begin to think about what gifts to get your friends and family! This time of year tends to be marked by not only delicious food, but even better desserts. Anthro has the cutest ones, in my opinion.By adding your email you agree to get updates about Spoon University Healthier But these make great gifts and will beautify any kitchen. I’ll be honest-I only use an apron when I manage to remember. The best hand mixer I’ve ever used? This Kitchenaid. In fact, I’ve been using only a hand mixer for quite some time now-simply because I’m young and haven’t made the financial jump. We all know the Kitchenaid Stand Mixer is at the top of every couple’s wedding registry, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be just as happy with a nice hand mixer. I’ve linked to a few things I know are good here, but this is another one where I think HomeGoods is your best friend-they have the best deals on nice baking ingredients. A few ingredients that are good investments and make great gifts: Madagascar Bourbon vanilla extract, vanilla beans or paste, flour, and cocoa powder. It’s so great baking cupcakes with higher-end ingredients. (They offer one that comes with a lid as well.) I’ve found that light-colored muffin pans work best. It’s cheap, no-nonsense, and has just what you need to make some stylin’ cupcakes. This really is the best piping set I can recommend to anyone who likes decorating cupcakes. They make transferring batter from the bowl to the muffin tin so so easy. These are a wonderful secret when it comes to baking cupcakes, muffins, etc. But honestly I think the best place to get these for a good deal is HomeGoods or the like. These Le Creuset ones are pretty and do what I’m talking about. Does that make sense? It’s the kind of scraper that can scrape in both directions. Though, I’ll explain what I most prefer: rubber scrapers where the handle goes right through the middle of the rubber part. Honestly, the brand doesn’t matter much here. I just like the wooden ones because they’re pretty. It’s good to have at least a straight one and an offset one. But you can use them in frosting cupcakes, as well. Though I do think these beakers from Schoolhouse Electric and this vintage-inspired glass cup from Amazon are pretty stylin’.įine, so these are more for decorating cakes. Loving their Nordic measuring cups and spoons right now. You can also go for some good aesthetics here. I can’t say I’ve invested in a super expensive set, but these Le Creuset Measuring Cups look excellent, along with their measuring spoon set. You don’t want ones that bend when you’re scooping sugar into them. If they’re merely printed, the measurements will eventually rub off, and then you’re left to guess! 2) Make sure they’re sturdy. I have two recommendations here: 1) Get ones that have the measurements engraved/embossed in them. These are one investment I think you should make. (Those ones with lids are great for other uses, however.) Still haven’t found an amazing glass bowl set for mixing that does come with lids! 2. I was tempted by this Pyrex Set with Lids, but I’ve found that I turn to something a little deeper for mixing. One caveat: make sure the ones you get are kinda deep. Plus you can successfully beat egg whites in them. Glass mixing bowls are the best because they’re heat safe, you can make anything in them, and they aren’t limited to being just mixing bowls.
