Baking Things
Great for prep, storage and baking! You have to have systems for a successful home bakery. These are great for prepping things like cookies to then chill for bake day. Pair them with the cooling racks rec to increase your baking volume. Stack tray-> cooling rack-> tray a couple of times for better vertical use of your oven.
BIEAMA 12 Pack Stainless Steel Toaster Oven Sheets 16x12
Combine with the baking sheets for better vertical use of your oven! Since you can separate these and they have a few inches of clearance with their little legs you can stack a few trays more easily than just using the racks in your oven. These are o...
P&P CHEF 5-Tier Stainless Steel Cooling Rack
These are great for dense breads like banana or pumpkin! OR if you are trying to make sandwich loaves you have three sets so you can use one as a lid to trap steam for the ultimate crust and still be able to bake three at a time. USA Pan is long know...
USA Pan Loaf Pan set 1 Lb,1 Pound,(Pack of 3)
My cute oven mitts were… cute but moving fast and moving bigger and heavier things I needed some mitts that were a bit safer. These are very grippy and super easy to clean. I’m never worried about dropping anything or miffed if/when I accidentally sh...
LANON Heat Resistant Silicone Oven Gloves, M
Artisan Loaves! If you’re into sourdough these are great b/c of their kind of upside down set up. Also, they are a GREAT price for the sizes they come in!
VORRINGARD Cast Iron Sourdough Bread Oven 7QT
Same brand as the other cast iron artisan loaf pan but this one is great for midi loafs.
VORRINGARD Pink Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven
This roller actually comes in two sizes. I like how easy to clean it is. The depth rings are nice to have, especially if you’re newer to some baked goods. I like this roller best for cinnamon rolls and cake pops. When you’re running a business consis...
Adjustable Stainless Steel Rolling Pin with Rings - 15.8'' Grey
Internal temp is the best for being able to tell if something is baked all the way. I’m gluten free and this is very, very true! This is a very inexpensive tool that will keep you from guessing and costing you a lot more in the end (time, supplies, s...
TempPro TP02S Digital Food Thermometer with Long Probe
If sourdough is your thing then you’ll need a good dough whisk. Love this one for its seamless design (stays cleaner) and no places for dough to get stuck/trapped because it doesn’t have any cross points. Also no wooden handle means less opportunity ...
OYV 12-Inch Stainless Steel Dough Whisk
You’re probably gonna need parchment paper and this is oven safe to 450*
260 Sq.Ft Unbleached Parchment Paper Roll 15in
Packaging
You will have to label your products with things like the ingredients, legal notes about your home kitchen (check with your state), branding, etc.
This thermal printer is compatible with lots of sizes of labels/stickers and doesn’t require same bran...
MUNBYN Bluetooth Thermal Label Printer RW403B Pink
Perfect for those individual chonky cookies! Self seal is nice and there is still room for your labels.
300 Pcs 4x6in Clear Self-Sealing Cookie Bags
Great for packing several cookies for return customers who know exactly what they like. As well as things like granola or coffee beans (which is such a funny thing to be able to sell imo but if it’s your thing! 🤍).
50 Pack 8.2x3.9x3.1in Resealable Cookie Bags w/ Window & Stickers
Obviously great for muffins and cupcakes but also mini “loafs” of things like banana bread. Putting together flights so customers can try a few things on small scale is actually a great way to sell a little more than you would have with only full siz...
400 Pcs Floral Watercolor Cupcake Liners
Cake Pops
Life is more fun in color…. These mix well with the almond bark (which, if you’re new, isn’t actually almond anything ((or chocolate)) it’s more like a candy coating). They have good color saturation and don’t change the flavor of your items. Great f...
Oil Based Food Coloring 15ml for Baking
A lot of the big name cake poppers use Daisy Makes cutters and I’m sure they are great. These are also awesome and a whole lot less expensive!!! Pair these with the rolling pin I linked for consistent thickness and shape.
Cake Pop Cutter & Pusher Tray - 1.75" Circle Mold
Great kit to start with for your pops!!
600Pcs 6IN Lollipop Sticks with Bags & Ties
My cottage bakery is allergy friendly so I use this vegan almond bark for my cake pops.
Vegan Kosher Baking Chocolate Bar - 2x300g
I love a good happy sprinkle. These are great because they come in natural colors (they also have the FD&C sprinkles so if it matters to you just be sure to double check).
