It's that time of year when we all secretly drop hints about things we want for Hanukkah or for Santa to bring. Some people casually mention some things to their loved ones that they've seen and would "love to have." And then there's some of us whose parents still ask us what we want from "Santa" even though we are grown, married adults!!!
Plain and simple--here are some great gift ideas for the cupcake baker in your life:
Taken from Baking Bites and About.com
1. The number one thing I can guarantee your baker wants if they don't have already (and probably still want another one if they have one!) is a Stand mixer like KitchenAid or Breville. I have a KitchenAid and I absolutely love it:
My blog's phrase is "a girl and her purple mixer." Enough said. They can be a little pricey but many stores have promotions and sales happening now.
2. Cookbooks--- there are a ton ton ton of cupcake/cake cookbooks that are amazing. Some of my favorites are:
What's New, Cupcake? By Alan Richardson and Karen Tack
Hello, Cupcake! By Alan Richardson and Karen Tack
Crazy about Cupcakes by Krystina Castella
Martha Stewart's Cupcakes by Martha Stewart
500 Cupcakes by Fergal Connolly (Santa please bring me!)
They also sell cookbook stands--which is something I've never really thought about until now! How much easier would it be to follow a recipe in a cookbook if it was on a stand? You wouldn't have to keep finding the page, or worry about dropping frosting onto it. Perfect gift to complement a new cookbook!
Try the Recipe Rock or the OttLight BookstandLite
3. Aprons/oven mitts/cupcake apparel. Always an easy go-to idea for bakers! Check out these flirty aprons! So cute!
4. Baking supplies. This can mean cupcake liners, pastry bags, sprinkles, utensils, etc. Another great thing that cupcake bakers absolutely need and don't always want to spend the money on is carriers!
Like this collapsible cupcake and cake carrier!
These are the kind thing that we bakers love to stock up on!!
5. A new item that is very popular this year is a Cupcake Pop Maker.
A very nice idea for those of us still trying to perfect the cake pop.... : )
And finally: GIFT CARDS. If all else fails--get a gift card to a craft supply store or a baking supply store. We DO appreciate it!!!
Well there you have it folks--good luck with all your shopping!
