Utensils 🥣
I’ve seen these in stores and they are super similar to my Le Creuset ones - this is a pack of two, but I have often found myself wishing I had two of my dishes!
Set of 2 Porcelain 13.5cm Square Baking Dishes
The non-slip base is very handy!
Pink Nesting Mixing Bowls w/ Pour Spout
Measuring spoons always clog up my drawer, but the magnetic ones are a lot easier to store - plus, they’re double sided so you don’t have to wash after needing the same measurement for two things
Set of 7 Magnetic Measuring Spoons
They’re not the most practical but they’re so cute!!
Sass & Belle Mushroon Measuring Cups
Again, not the most practical, but they’re adorable
Sass & Belle Cherry Measuring Spoons
Super handy to have a mixing bowl with a spout and a handle!!
Zeal Mixing Bowl/Batter Jug 20cm - Rose Pink
These store really nicely!
Set of 4 Ceramic Pastel Measuring Cups
A scale is a MUST… a cute scale is a plus
Digital Kitchen Food Scale with LCD Display
Measuring jugs always come in handy! A lot of the time, I’ll just mix my batter in these if the recipe calls for a measure of milk first.
3-Piece Plastic Measuring Jug Set
Having multiple is always a good shout as I tend to use one for cooking and the other two for baking!
Silicone Spatula Set, Pack of 3
Instead of getting a metal or silicone whisk PLEASE get an all nylon one like this - metal will scratch non-stick pans, and sillicone coating eventually starts flaking off and you’ll find bits of it in your food!
Large Whisk, All Nylon
Trays can be cheap and cheerful as I’ll always use baking parchment or foil on top of them - I also like to place baking dishes on these just in case anything bubbles over!
Baking Tray Set, Pack of 3
I know there’s a lot of discourse around cutting boards, but for everything bar raw meat I think wood is the way to go! It also use mine as a heatproof mat to rest hot baking dishes or trays on.
Large Wooden Chopping Board, Pre-Oiled
Full disclosure, I don’t actually use my muffin tray super often, but I’ll still always have one in my kitchen!
12 Cup Muffin Tray & Cupcake Tin
With rolling pins, I prefer these types that are typically used for fondant - do i ever use them for fondant? No, but they work for everything and they’re easy to clean!
Non-Stick Fondant Rolling Pin
You always need a few basic circle cookie cutters, and the scalloped side is perfect for scones <3 I love scones…
Reversible Pastry and Cookie Cutters
I find these a lot easier (and tidier) to use than sieves!
Flour Sifter
Very handy for when you’re working with dough - easily re-flours a surface! Plus, with the mesh attachment, you can sift cocoa powder or icing sugar as a final touch to your bakes.
Flour Shaker
I love a good lemon drizzle or lemon cheesecake, so a juicer that has measurements on the side is really helpful
Citrus Juicer with Built-In Strainer
It’s just cute! Look at it!

SIFT by Nicola Lamb
Even though she runs a cupcake company, this creator has a tonne of really good recipes (I personally use her gingerbread biscuit recipes every Christmas). This video focuses on cupcakes but can be applied to a basic sponge as well!
