Good morning, dear friends!
It’s Tuesday and I figured it is time for some Kitchen 101 …… or to be exact little … Baking 101.
Thanks to the recent cupcakes …. cake pops ….. baby cakes craze that started with bloggers like Bakerella or Joy the Baker home baking is on the rise and becoming very popular not only with moms, but also with teenagers as well.
During the holidays I had the pleasure to share some of my time & expertise with group of teenagers from our local Boys & Girls Club ….. teaching them some basics of baking ….. decorating cake pops …. understanding recipes.
One of the first things I did before my first baking lesson was compile a list of Top 10 Essential Beginner Bakers Tools that won’t break anybody’s budget, but will give a great start for every beginning baker.
If you are a beginner baker and don’t know where to start this list will help you to get the essentials and allow you slowly build your baking collection within your budget and baking skills.
It really is like a little Baker’s Basic Kit ….. perfect as a housewarming gift for children moving out ….. wedding present ……
Top 10 Essential Beginner Bakers Tools
- Kitchen Scale – one of the most important tools for bakers
- Measuring Cups - Wet & Dry Kind
- Measuring Spoons
- Spatulas – Large Silicone Spatula for mixing and Metal Spatula for removing baked goods
- Glass (or stainless steel) Mixing Bowls – Set of 3 sizes – Small/Medium/Large
- Bakeware – Basic Set – 1 non-coated Jellyroll pan, 8″ Round Cake pan, 12cup Muffin Tin pan

To this Top 10 Essential Beginner Baking Tools list you can also add:

If you are a beginner baker I hope this Basic Baking Tools List will help you with your new adventure ……
If you are an experienced baker what else do you think I need to add to this starter list? Did I miss anything?
Don’t forget …. Keep Smiling …. Keep Cooking!

That’s a great list for beginning bakers! I have all of them, now if only I had the skills to match!

Lol, I am pretty sure can handle yourself in the kitchen quite well
Hi Bibi! I hope your year is off to a good start! What a great list of baking needs. Do you find yourself collecting more than one of things? Suddenly…I find myself collecting interesting and different measuring spoons! You are a gem to contribute your time and know how to your local boys and girls clubs. Wish I had been in the class! I missed last months Cake Slice but am jumping back in for this month and hope you are as well! : )

Thank you so much for your kind words, Anne! I missed Cake Slice as well, but I am joining in this month
That’s a fantastic list and includes everything a beginner baker would need. i think i would also add parchment paper/wax paper…it’s not exactly a tool but i use those pretty much every time i bake
Thank you! Yes, I knew I forgot about something
Parchment paper is a must in my kitchen as well.
I don’t have a scale or a sifter but everything else I’m good on =)
