Utensils 🥣
Â
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
Â
The non-slip base is very handy!
Pink Nesting Mixing Bowls w/ Pour Spout
Â
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
Â
They’re not the most practical but they’re so cute!!
Sass & Belle Mushroon Measuring Cups
Â
Again, not the most practical, but they’re adorable
Sass & Belle Cherry Measuring Spoons
Â
Super handy to have a mixing bowl with a spout and a handle!!
Zeal Mixing Bowl/Batter Jug 20cm - Rose Pink
Â
These store really nicely!
Set of 4 Ceramic Pastel Measuring Cups
Â
A scale is a MUST… a cute scale is a plus
Digital Kitchen Food Scale with LCD Display
Â
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
Â
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
Â
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
Â
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
Â
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
Â
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
Â
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
Â
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
Â
I find these a lot easier (and tidier) to use than sieves!
Flour Sifter
Â
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
Â
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
Â
It’s just cute! Look at it!

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!
