"The Baking Bible" by Rose Levy Beranbaum, $23.99
As you may have guessed from its title, this book contains recipes to almost any baked good you can dream up (Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse Tart, Gingersnaps, White Christmas Peppermint Cake, to name a few). Detail-oriented instructions, “plan-aheads,” and ingenious tips are paired with beautiful photography to elevate the baking experience.
Use this set of gourmet salts to elevate your favorite treats with flavors like espresso, vanilla cardamom, and orange ginger.
Baker's Edge Nonstick Edge Brownie Pan, $35.95
The unique design of this brownie pan ensures that each brownie square gets an equal amount of love, meaning two chewy edges and a warm, chocolatey center.
Wilton Trim 'n Turn Cake Turntable, $24.48
The cake makers on your list will love this turntable, which makes it a cinch to beautifully frost and decorate cakes. It revolves both clockwise and counter-clockwise, so it's great for lefties and righties alike.
Silpat Premium Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat, $24.99
These popular mats turn any old pan into a non-stick pan, replacing the need for parchment paper as well as additional butter, oil, or grease. Just insert it into your pan of choice, cook your baked goods, and pop the mat in the sink with some warm soapy water for an easy cleanup.
LetGoShop Silicone Cupcake Molds, Set of 24, $10.98
Use these nonstick and heat resistant cupcake molds again and again rather than restocking on the paper variety every time there's a birthday.
Le Creuset Stoneware Pie Bird Funnel, $10.95
This may look like a colorful windowsill trinket, but it's more handy than you think. When you place this little bird in the center of your pie, it releases the steam during baking, redirecting it outward to cook the pie evenly and form a deliciously crispy crust without overcooking the filling.
Sur La Table White Marble Pastry Board, $59.95
Not only is this marble board a sophisticated item to display on your countertop, it also keeps ingredients cold to prevent sticking.
The Original Brown Sugar Bear, Set of 2, $9.79
Throw a couple of these little bears into your canister of brown sugar, and you'll never have that pesky clumping problem when you reach for a spoonful.
TANKING Folding Portable Silicone Measuring Cups and Spoons, Set of 8, $9.99
These awesome measuring tools collapse flat when not in use, making them super easy to store away when not in use.
Montreal Baking Icing Spatula, $7.99
The trick to a perfectly smooth frosting job is all about finding the proper tool. This stainless steel spatula will help make your loved ones' cakes look fabulous every time.
Nordic Ware 4-Piece Prep N Serve Mixing Bowl Set, $20.99
Instead of the standard set of clear or chrome mixing bowls, consider a more colorful option, like these vibrant bowls by Nordic Ware.
The Original Stainless Steel Rolling Pin, $10.50
This French-style rolling pin is made with a lightweight stainless steel, which reduces heat transfer from your hands to the dough, resulting in a less sticky experience.
Dinosaur Cookie Cutters, Set of 5, $8.49
If your loved one is a baker, chances are they already have most standard cookie cutter shapes. Surprise them with shapes that are a little more random, like these dinosaurs.
