Shop My Baking Essentials
Most of recipes on my blog use the metric system, which is based on weights and involves a scale. 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, if you have a scale, it is more preferable in 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 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 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 easier to buy on Amazon.
