5 Essential Kitchen Tools for Baking
Do you love baking, but sometimes feel like it should be easier? It really comes down to two things: practice and quality baking tools. While the practice is mainly up to you, I can help with the quality baking tools by recommending my favorite products. I put together this list of my top 5 essential kitchen tools for baking that will make a world of difference for you!
I love investing in quality kitchen tools when it comes to baking my cakes. These products have made me enjoy the process so much more and they honestly help produce better-tasting and better-looking cakes. I promise these tools will give you some amazing results too as you keep using them! Alright, I’m excited for you to see what’s here so let’s get started.
Essential Kitchen Tool #1: Fat Daddio Cake Pans
I will always stand by my Fat Daddio round cake pans. After using them I will never try another brand. The way they are produced makes it so your cake batter gets a nice even bake while in the oven. This is such a big deal! Distributing that heat as equally as possible will give you the professional results you are looking for when baking cakes.
Essential Kitchen Tool #2: Icing Spatulas
Yes, you could use a rubber spatula or something similar to spread the frosting on your cakes and desserts, but an icing spatula will change your world! I actually custom-made two different icing spatulas that are the perfect length and angle for you when frosting your layered cakes. Check them out HERE. These spatulas will make it easier on you and allow you to get all the icing on the cake with less of a mess in the process.
Essential Kitchen Tool #3: KitchenAid Mixer & Paddle Attachment
KitchenAid Mixers are of course a game changer when it comes to baking. I know these are a more pricey kitchen tool for baking, BUT with Black Friday coming up it could be the perfect time for you to finally get one. You can check out my top picks for KitchenAid Mixers HERE. Plus, the one tool I cannot live without is the fitted paddle attachment that scraps the edge of your bowl while it’s mixing your batter. It’s so amazing!
Essential Kitchen Tool #4: Piping Bag
If you like to have some fun decorating your cakes and desserts, you will definitely want a piping bag. And if this is something you do often, I recommend getting a reusable one. I have a 16-inch silicone piping bag you can check out HERE. Just fit it with your assorted tips and pipe away! I also have a post HERE that will give you some fun ideas on how to pipe and decorate your cakes.
Essential Kitchen Tool #5: Cake Cookbook
OK, I had to include my “Cake by Courtney” Cookbook on this list! It’s been almost a year since it was first released and I am loving what all of you are saying about it. I poured my heart and soul into this book and it has some of the absolute best recipes in there (and even some that are exclusive just to that book)! So, you can check it out HERE if you’re ready to dive into this cake journey with me!
