Top 5 Baking Gifts
1) Biodegradable Plastic Mixing Bowls
Bamboozle Home: Biodegradable Plastic Mixing Bowls - Black
2) Madagascar Vanilla Extract
Spice things up with pure vanilla flavor—deep, rich, and full—made from sustainably grown vanilla beans. Madagascar extract boasts its own distinct flavors from its growing region. Madagascar Bourbon is the scent and taste most commonly recognized as traditional vanilla.
3) Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat
The Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat allows you to bake without the need for butter, oil, or disposable paper. The reusable design is made for pastries to be placed directly on the surface for baking or prepping. Use the anti-slip mat to bake cookies or to roll out dough for pizza.
4) Bread Warmer & Basket
KORISSA: Bread Warmer & Basket
5) Cross-Back Denim Apron
This denim apron takes a utilitarian approach to keeping you clean in the kitchen. Pure cotton denim is the aprons’ durable base, and there are perfectly-sized pockets for a notebook and pens. The cross-back construction opens up your range of motion and, because it doesn’t tie around the neck, it creates less stress there during long baking sessions.
