Cake Crown (above)
Watch out — this butterfly crown could steal some thunder from the cake itself.
Bowl Covers
Rising and resting times just got fancy. Plastic wrap is so passé.
Pastry Case
A pie on the go is worth two on the counter. Homemade goodies were meant to be shared, and these carriers make it easy.
Conversion Towel (below)
Even the most seasoned baker can benefit from a towel that takes the guesswork out of baking conversions.
Classic Cookie Cutters
Ready-to-decorate shapes like ball gowns, hamburgers, and holiday insignia make these cookie cutters anything but boring.
Stencil
If you want cakes that are as eye-catching as they are tasty, finish them with a scripted monogram. We’ll “share” that.
Flavored Salt (below)
What’s better than a cookie topped with flaky sea salt? A cookie topped with lemon salt from Jacobsen Salt Co. (They sell a vanilla bean version too.)
Infused Syrups
One taste of Trubee’s smoky Coastal Spring or whipped Tennessee Snow honey, and there’ll be no going back to that honey-bear squeeze tube. And why isn’t all maple syrup infused with Egyptian chamomile and vanilla bean?
Gluten-Free Flour
An true star baker can feed every mouth at the table — come hell, high water, or gluten intolerance.
Rolling Pin
This walnut-wood rolling pin, whose elegant handles are inspired by candle flames, will make any baker feel like a pro.
Cake Stand
Show off your dessert on hand-pressed jadeite flint glass — it tastes better that way, truly!
Fancy Apron
And because you should be dressed as well as your cake, tie on a new apron in artichoke, tugboat, or hedgehog print.
