All the recipes on the blog are primarily developed using gram measurements for the high precision and then converted to the US volume and weight measurements. Measuring ingredients with a digital scale provides more accurate results in baking.
For example, converting flour from grams to cups might vary since it depends on room temperature, quality of flour, etc. So, it would be best if you had a digital kitchen scale, which is more precise baking.
I also convert most of recipes to the American system. So, if you are used to measure ingredients with measuring cups and spoons, enjoy the recipes in your favorite way.
To measure liquid ingredients, I recommend using glass Pyrex measuring cups. For smaller quantities, this measuring shot glass is perfect.
Electric mixer and stand mixer are essential tools used in almost each recipe.
I personally use a food processor by Braun that combines most of the functions of a stand mixer and a food processor. I am in love with this one.
You need to sift the flour more often than you might think. However, some recipes (just a few) omit this step. A hand whisk is another tool you need.
A cooking thermometer and a rubber spatula are required by most of recipes.
This bent spatula and rolling pin are a must in baking.
You cannot bake without parchment paper and/or silicone baking mat.
Never bake without a wire rack. You need at least a couple of them.
I often use a fluted tart pan and a 8 inch/20 cm cake pan to make tarts and cakes.
Muffins, cupcakes and friands require muffin and friand pans.
I am in love with this cupcake corer and elegant cupcake liners.
To decorate cakes, tarts, cupcakes, etc. you need to shop for pastry bags and mostly used tips such as Ateco plain pastry tip 806 and open star pastry tip – Wilton 1M.
This equipment is what I mostly use in my kitchen to bake and create my blog. I also use other cooking essentials such a colander, plastic film, a wooden spatula, and a vegetable peeler.
As for ingredients, I shop in a regular grocery store. Some ingredients such as rose water, vanilla extract, orange flower water, gelatin sheets, and pearl sugar are more comfortable to buy on Amazon.
