Top 5 Baking Gifts
1) Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat
The Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat allows you to bake without the need for butter, oil, or disposable paper. The reusable design is made for pastries to be placed directly on the surface for baking or prepping. Use the anti-slip mat to bake cookies or to roll out dough for pizza.
2) “Vanilla" Book by Patricia Rain
Follow along with recipes from the Vanilla Queen, Patricia Rain, as she traces the history of vanilla across the globe and back to its earliest days. Learn how to let this versatile spice shine in any cuisine. Don’t just limit yourself to cookies and cakes—vanilla is a stealthy flavor enhancer in savory dishes, too.

4) Classic Silicone Cake Baking Mold
A detailed silicone cake mold is an easy way to make better-looking cakes. A non-stick mold made of food-grade silicone is easy to prepare (no greasing) and clean (dishwasher safe). Soft yet durable, it won’t crack or lose shape over time and will yield treats that look like they came from a bakery.
