Regular Spatula – These come in a variety of sizes, I love to have a large, medium, and small one on hand.

Cake Cutter – If you love cakes, a good cutter is essential in helping you serve a nice slice.

Whisks – Whisks come in various sizes, try finding a large, med, and small whisk. The small or mini whisks are great for small amounts of liquids, think beating an egg, or making a dressing.

Pastry Cutter – Yes you can use a fork or your fingers, but sometimes a pastry cutter just works faster in getting pie dough together.

Bench Scraper – These are useful if your baking lots of bread or moving dough.  Also great in scraping up the dough from the countertop.

Baking Scale – Is the most accurate way of getting the right measurements. It’s great to have on hand if you come across a  recipe that uses grams instead of cups. If you are making sourdough bread or are interested in learning how too, a scale will be required. They are easy to find and inexpensive.
