Finding a gift for the experienced baker in your life can definitely be a challenge, especially if they seem to have every baking tool under the sun! Have no fear because this gift guide has some of the best baking accessories, specialty ingredients, and unique kitchen gadgets that will surely impress even the most seasoned home baker. These gift ideas are guaranteed to elevate and enhance their baking experience!
Professional Baking Tools
I’ve been baking for well over 20 years, and have seen every gadget under the sun. Every gift idea in this guide is hand-picked and won’t sit in the back of the cupboard collecting dust. Rest assured that the experienced baker in your life will love these thoughtful presents!
Measurement Tools
Digital Scale – Because accuracy is everything in the baking world and requires a lot of precision. When the ingredients are weighed with a scale, it will yield superior results, I promise. My favorite feature of this top-notch food scale is the pull-out display. It’ll be a lifesaver for any experienced baker trying to weigh ingredients in a giant mixing bowl!
Oven Thermometer – This gadget is all you need to ensure your baked goodies are perfectly…. baked! It’s rare that an oven is 100% calibrated, especially as it gets older, but that won’t be a problem thanks to this oven thermometer.
Back to Baking Basics
French Tapered Rolling Pin – When rolling out doughs, the tapered edges of this rolling pin will create the best dough. Why, you ask? It allows for even pressure distribution! With American rolling pins (the ones with handles) the pressure is focused in the middle, but the tapered design on this rolling pin eliminates thick spots in the dough. This makes it ideal for pie crusts and other delicate pastry doughs!
Cookie Scoop – I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a million more times… if there’s one gift to give a baker, it’s a high-quality cookie scoop. The soft, easy-grip handle on this scoop makes scooping cookie dough a breeze!
Silicone Jar Spatulas – These are the coolest spatulas! They do everything from scraping jars to smoothing frosting on a cake to mixing hot ingredients (I’m looking at you, melted chocolate!). PS I’m in love with those soft pastel colors too!
Specialty Bakeware
Silpat – I’ve talked about this beloved mat more times than I can count, but it it’s one you can’t ever have enough of! Not only can you use it for baking, but you can move the whole mat and everything on it from the counter to the fridge or freezer to rest without messing up the dough! They also make a special mat for cookies and one for measuring out your pie crusts.
Cake Pan – If you want to really splurge for the experienced baker in your life, then this is what you’ll want to gift them. This cake pan is non-stick (thank you ceramic coating) but conducts heat evenly (thank you aluminum body). It comes in gorgeous colors and is something a baker might not choose themselves, which is why it makes an ideal gift!
Bundt Pan – This beautiful bundt pan is your golden ticket to winning over any baker’s heart! It’s an heirloom piece that’s designed to last for many years! It bakes nice and evenly thanks to it being made of cast-aluminum and holds 10 cups of cake batter! Want to really go for the gold in the bundt pan department? Get them a MINI bundt pan!
Gourmet Ingredients
Premium Vanilla Extract – The gift of high-quality extract is one the experienced baker won’t take for granted! It adds incredible depth and richness to any baked good.
Gel Food Coloring – All experienced bakers know that not all food coloring is created equal. If you want professional results, high-quality gel food coloring is where it’s at!
Finishing Salt – It seems ironic that adding salt to your sweets enhances the flavor, but it’s true! The key is to not overly use it… just a pinch here or there over chocolate chip cookies or fudgy caramel brownies! I’ve loved this salt company for years and use it often.
Baking Accessories and Novelties
Recipe Stand – Make it easier for the experienced baker to see their recipes hands-free with this wooden recipe stand. The holder is perfect for both cookbooks and tablets, and has a protective acrylic shield that protects beloved recipes from food splatter and fingerprints.
Baking Keychain – Hands down the most charming baking gift! Experienced bakers have quite a few gadgets and gizmos, but now they can take their love for baking on-the-go.
Baker Plant Pot – Plants make people happy, and baking makes people happy, so combine the two with this adorable pot! It takes baking beyond the kitchen and into any room of the house.
Scented Candle – Let the experienced baker savor the smells of baking… even when they’re not baking. This scrumptious candle has notes of vanilla, butter, and caramel that is a true delight for the senses!
Bread Baking Kit – I just couldn’t pass this one up! How fun is it to be able to make bread in tiny terracotta pots? It’s the best way to challenge even the most experienced baker.
Recipe Book – Every baker has their tried and true recipes, but do they have them in one place? Hopefully! If not, this sweet recipe book is exactly what they need to organize and store their recipes. Isn’t the retro pattern so cute?
Baking T-Shirt – You know this Taylor inspired t-shirt caught my eye! Bakers gonna bake all day, every day!
