Baking is one of my favorite things to do! I love how excited my kids get every time I’ve baked them a treat! Even though I love to bake, I wanted some expert help for putting together this gift guide. I went to my friend Olgui who is a professional baker (and she’s amazing at it!) and asked her to tell me what her must-haves are and also give me some of her wishlist items. Funnily enough, her wishlist has now become my wishlist! Read on to find the perfect gift for the baker in your life!

Best Gifts For Bakers
KitchenAidArtisan Stand Mixer
a baker’s best tool
Not only is this mixer essential for a baker, it’s so pretty to look at! I personally have the Ultra Power Plus 4.5 Qt. in Ice Blue. It’s very heavy duty, super easy to operate and quickly mixes, kneads, and whips your ingredients. I love the stainless steel bowl which makes for a very easy cleanup! There are lots of attachments including food grinders, pasta makers, and more. If you’d like a souped-up version of this mixer, then you’ll want to consider the Professional Series.
New MetroMixer BeaterBlade
a neccessary attachment for mixers
This beaterblade is a perfect complement for the KitchenAid Mixer. It scrapes the bowl as it’s mixing! No more turning the mixer on and off to clean the sides. What a time saver. Just make sure you get the right size blade for the mixer you are purchasing.

Keep in mind these are not mixing bowls, they are small prep bowls.
