12 fun utensils to put a spin on your baking routine
Tonight saw viewers all over Britain switch on their TV to watch the final of the Great British Bake-Off – probably the country’s most anticipated television event of 2015 (and the writer, just to mention, was firmly rooting for Nadiya).
While we’re not as creative – or as culinarily gifted – as the contestants, we know that fun is one of the most important parts of baking.
From colorful spatulas to novelty bakeware, there are plenty of ways to add that tiny extra spark to your baking, so we have assembled some of our favorite utensils and accessories to mix up your kitchen.
Amazon, $9.95 (£6.49, €8.84)
No-one wants burned fingers – this cheerful, green mitt helps protect your hands while bringing a bit of succulent swing into your kitchen.
The Gift Oasis, £16.79 (€22.86, $25.72)
Cybermen and Daleks are a lot less intimidating if you can defeat them with a single bite – throw in the TARDIS, K9 and the Doctor’s iconic sonic screwdriver and you’re in for a winning set of biscuits.
Just Fab Gifts, £6.39 (€8.70, $9.79)
It’s no secret that chocolate in any form makes (nearly) everything better, and this shaker makes sure it contains exactly what it says on the tin.
MAIDEN, £15 (€20.42, $22.98)
Not everyone likes carrying around a muffin top – unless it’s one of these in your hand, we guess.
Just fill them with your favorite cupcake batter, pop them in the oven and watch the all-too-familiar top rise and spill over a bit.
Pastel polka dot baking dishes
The Contemporary Home, £10.50 (€14.30, $16.08)
These can be used for anything, from roasting vegetables to whipping up a pasta bake – but we do recommend you make use of their perfect form to create delicious pies or a zingy lemon tart.
MAIDEN, £8 (€10.89, $12.25)
We had a chocolate shaker, yes, but we couldn’t pass up this magical kitchen utensil (some would say gadget…), sure to bring joy into any kitchen.
One tip: for the ultimate magical experience, fill it with edible glitter rather than just sprinkles, and your bakes will truly sparkle.
Pink Sumo, £9 (€12.25, $13.79)
Sometimes, you want to pass a message across in the sweetest way possible and this clever stamp can sure help you with that!
Simply spell out your own message, stamp and bake your cookies and you’ve got your own, sweet mailing system, all without messing about with icing and all that jazz.
ThinkGeek, $29.99 (€26.65, £19.57)
Unlike its big brother, this fully functional Death Star cookie jar isn’t capable of destroying a whole planet in one go – but you may notice it having an effect on your waistline. Especially around Christmas.
Alessi, £205 (€279.19, $314.13)
Wearing a cheerfully colorful harlequin costume over his round belly, Alessi’s Fatman stand hides a clever secret: unfolding into three stainless steel plates, it wouldn’t just make Mary Berry smile in delight but also offers plenty of space to serve your favorite teatime treats, from biscuits to delicate fondant fancies.
Awesome Inventions, £9.99 (€13.60, $15.30)
Turn the tables on boring, egg-shaped kitchen timers by making this fun vinyl player-shaped timer tell you when your cake is ready to come out of the oven.
Woburn China & Gifts, £3.99 (€5.43, $6.11)
Sure, every home should have a good loaf and a good round baking tin, but no-one can resists funny novelty bakeware – whether it’s a castle, monkey or otherwise funnily shaped thing, it’s sure to make everyone smile (and will prevent any cake-modeling disasters, for that matter).
Ellie Ellie, £23 (€31.32, $35.24)
Even if you don’t like Taylor Swift, just reading this probably got you singing – so just imagine what would happen if you had this set in your kitchen, ready to make you tea and cookie break just that tiny bit better.
