Beginner’s Guide: 5 Essential Tools Every New Baker Should Own
It’s the summer again and you’re finally ready to learn a new skill, so many things have come to your mind but baking is the one that sticks. so i’m hear to help you here are 5 essential baking tools you’ll need to make the process faster
1. Mixing Bowls
If you need one main item, this is it, i mean you’re not gonna be mixing in your pot or something, so you need at least two or three mixing bowls of different sizes, whether you’re combining your wet ingredients or folding in flour.
Bowls are always gonna be used.
Pro tip: Use stainless all the way
2. Measuring Cups & Spoons
Unlike cooking, baking is all about precision.
A little too much flour or too little sugar can ruin the whole recipe.
Get yourself a full set of "dry measuring cups", "liquid measuring cups", and "measuring spoons".
Trust me, it makes all the difference.
3. Whisk
Need to beat eggs, mix batters, or make your whipped cream light and airy?
The whisk is your go-to.
While hand mixers or stand mixers come in handy later on, a whisk is perfect when you’re just starting out.
It’s affordable, simple, and gets the job done.
4. Spatula
No beginner baker should be without a silicone spatula.
It's perfect for folding batter, scraping the sides of bowls, or smoothly spreading frosting over a cake.
Why silicone?
It’s heat-resistant, flexible, and doesn’t hold onto strong food smells
5. Palette Knife & Cake Comb
Once you're ready to frost cakes or smooth out layers, you’ll need a palette knife and cake comb.
These tools help you achieve that clean, Instagram-worthy look, even as a beginner.
Even if you’re just baking for fun, the satisfaction of a well-decorated cake is worth it.
