Essential Baking Tools
- Cookie Scoops: ThisΒ Kitchen Aid Gourmet Cookie ScoopΒ is probably one of my most used kitchen tools. The small size allows you to perfectly fill mini cupcakes, scoop cookies and truffle dough. Theyβre are super sturdy come in super cute colors, like this dark teal (perfect for showing your food allergy support).
- Measuring Spoons:Β Spring Chef Heavy Duty Measuring SpoonsΒ is a βmust haveβ kitchen tool. I absolutely love their rectangular design which allows them to easily fit into spice jars so I donβt have to keep popping off the lids!
- Spatulas: Β I have a ton of spatulas laying in my kitchen drawer but always reach for myΒ di Oeo Living 3 Piece Set. These are not flimsy spatulas by any means. They hold their shape, are high heat resistant, and their edges are shaped to make scraping, mixing and tasting super easy.
- Cooling Racks: Letβs face it, not all of us have a ton of counter or storage space, so thatβs why theseΒ Wilton 3-Tier Cooling RacksΒ are so handy. They stack right on top of each other and collapse for easy storing. Baking 3 sheets of cookies is now completely doable.
- Icing Spatulas: If you make a lot of cakes or cupcakes like I do, then theΒ Professional 4-Piece SetΒ will make you happy. This set includes 2 offset spatulas and 2 straight blades which make it easy to cover everything from cookies to large cakes a breeze.
- Stand Mixer: This was on my Christmas list several years ago and is still one of my favorite gifts ever received. I absolutely adore myΒ KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixer. Itβs my βgo-toβ and BFF in the kitchen and I donβt know how I ever lived without it.
- Silpat: I use to always use parchment paper when making cookies but would hate it when I forgot I was all out and had to use spray instead. Thankfully, I now have theseΒ Non-stick Silicone Baking MatsΒ Β which take the place of parchment paper, wax paper & even cooking sprays. I just lay them on the bottom of my baking sheet and bake like usual. The cookies always turn out amazing.
- Cupcake Pan: I am absolutely obsessed with cupcakes, so when I stumbled upon thisΒ 24 well cupcake pan, I had to have it. Not only does it cut down on your baking time, itβs heavier construction & non-stick coating bakes cupcakes and muffins to perfection. It also comes in aΒ 48 well mini muffinΒ size so you can make even more adorable cupcakes & muffins!
- Decorating Tip Set: Β Buying pre-made birthdays is no longer an option soΒ decorating toolsΒ have come in handy over the years when making my own allergy-safe treats. This little set has all the perfect shapes for covering cakes, cupcakes, cookies and even using it to fill in pastries or even something as simple as making SunButter filled dates.
- Baking Sheets: I bake a lot, and my kids love baking so we rely on quality baking sheets. My absolute favorite sheets are fromΒ AirBake Natural Cookie Sheet. Their air insulation prevents overbaking and their micro-dome technology can reduce baking time, so you can eat those cookies sooner!
- Β Coffee Grinder: If you know me, I typically have a cup of coffee in my hand, especially when baking. However, thisΒ Krups Coffee GrinderΒ isnβt just for coffee! This also comes in handy when making flax meal or chia meal so there is no need to buy a bag of it really when you can just grind it up yourself.
