Talk about expensive gifts for bakers, let’s start off with one of the most expensive gifts you can get; the KitchenAid stand mixer. A stand mixer is a must-have for every baker. If your friend or family member doesn’t have one yet, this is a perfect gift to buy them. Stand mixers are incredibly useful in the kitchen. They whip, knead, stir and beat ingredients with zero effort and will make your baker’s life so much easier.
KitchenAid stand mixers are also some of the most durable appliances out there and will last a lifetime if looked after properly. It’s an investment, really.
I would be absolutely delighted if someone got me a KitchenAid stand mixer as a gift! So, if you are willing to spend the money, I would highly suggest the KitchenAid Artisan model. They come in all sorts of different colors, so you are bound to find one that will make a good impression.

You want to surprise her with a mixer on Christmas day but don’t know which one to get. Well, I’m here to tell you that instead of spending all that money on a stand mixer, you could go for a modest hand mixer instead. The KitchenAid hand mixer is a high-end hand mixer but it is nowhere near as expensive as the stand mixers.
Hand mixers are great as they allow the baker to whip up something fast without needing to get the whole stand mixer out and it gives you more control over the ingredients you are mixing, making it the perfect gift for beginners and veterans alike.
There are various KitchenAid hand mixers to choose from, but the nine speed mixer is probably your best bet. It offers beaters, a whisk and dough hooks which allows for more versatile baking.

Is the cookware set a little bit over your budget? If you still want to get your hands on Mauviel products, how better to surprise your loved one with a Mauviel copper mixing bowl?
Copper bowls are known to be the best for whipping egg whites as the egg proteins interact so well with the copper. As the copper ions leach into the egg whites, it helps stabilise the whites, making the fluffiest and stiffest meringues.
It might be a little pricey for a bowl, but they will last forever and your baker friend will thank you every time they whip up a fluffy meringue.
- A Mauviel product without spending thousands. This copper bowl is a must for every passionate baker who loves to experiment with meringue.

The Mason Cash bowls are my absolute favorite. For a while, I received one as a gift every Christmas and I have acquired quite a collection. Mason Cash bowls are made from earthenware that is high quality and chip-resistant. What I love about these bowls is that they are heavy enough not to move around the counter when you are mixing but are still light enough to handle with ease.
They come in all sorts of different fun colors and patterns.
- A timeless classic. Mason Cash bowls feature intricate embossed patterns that have endured the test of time, with some designs remaining the same even after 100 years!

Every baker knows that high-quality ingredients make all the difference in their baking creations.

- Using the best kitchen tools is just as important as using the best possible ingredients. Neilsen-Massey vanilla extract is known for being the best in the world.

Turntable and Smoothing Tools
- Heavy duty aluminium alloy provides an excellent stability on countertops
- Revolving cake stand is that it gives you easy access to all sides of the cake for frosting
- 12 inch non-slip surface & rubber feet to help keep your cake and cake stand in place while decorating.
Like a cake stand, but it spins! Turntables are very useful for bakers who love to decorate cakes. The table makes it easier to ice the cake as you don’t have to awkwardly move around the cake. Not only is this very inconvenient, but you also don’t get a smooth finish which can make the end result of your cake look messy. With the turntable, the cake moves around for you!
I spent years decorating cakes without a turntable and the day I was finally gifted one, my cake decorating improved significantly. So, if your loved one enjoys decorating but struggles a bit with the icing aspect of it, a turntable and smoothing tools are the perfect gifts for cake bakers.

Silpat Silicone Baking Mat
I was gifted a silicone baking mat for my birthday last year and I absolutely love it. It makes kneading dough and making pizza a whole lot easier. The non-stick surface makes it easier to clean all that floury, watery residue that would otherwise be a nightmare to get off your countertop.
Silpat is one the best silicone brands you can get, made with strong silicone that is made to last.
