The AmazonBasics Cake Pan is a set of 2 round carbon steel non-stick cake pans with handles on either side.
The Happy Chef Palette Knife is the perfect choice for cake toppings and frostings as it has a flat stainless-steel body to smoothen bumps and dents easily.
The Taluka Measuring Set includes 4 different sized spoons to add specific portions to your recipe. It's an essential, not just for baking but in the kitchen as well.
The Syga Wire Rack is important once your cake pops out of the oven. The non-stick wire rack elevates the cake and allows it to ventilate from all sides, even from beneath. It can also be used as a stand when frosting cakes with liquid toppings.
The Morphy Richards Stand Mixer will change your mind completely about mixing ingredients by hand. It has six pre-programmed settings, six controls for the speed and three attachments to beat, whisk and knead. Once you try this, there's no going back.
The Oddy Parchment Paper may not seem like much but is a crucial accessory when baking. Before adding batter in the tin, line it with this to prevent sticking and get a smooth finish. It is also used to pack food when heating and storing.
Finally, serve your cake in the MyGift Cloche. The clear acrylic platter has a cover with a handle to display your baked goods in style.
