For some people, there are a couple of major events every year that call for baking: birthdays and holidays (and maybe an occasional batch of muffins or cookies here and there). For others, it seems like their ovens never have a chance to cool down because they’re using them on a near-daily basis. Wherever your loved ones fall on the scale, we’ve got some sweet gifts they’re sure to appreciate.

KitchenAid Limited Edition Light & Shadow Stand Mixer
KitchenAid

If your favorite baker has been waiting for a KitchenAid stand mixer, the wait might have paid off! The brand launched a sexy new design earlier this summer. It features a matte white finish and a unique black ceramic bowl that will look stunning on any kitchen counter. Sure, it’s an investment, but this workhorse boasts a five-quart bowl that can mix up to nine-dozen cookies. And you have to admit: It does look good. Get the family to chip in with you.

We never thought we'd love a set of spatulas as much as we love these. And yet, here we are. They're seriously perfect. They're heat-safe to high temps, feel great in your hand, and are made of one piece of silicone, which means they're easy to clean. Plus, two is always better than one!

OXO Good Grips Silicone Oven Mitt
Amazon
$ 16.95

Oven mitts can get DIRTY! And no one actually thinks to clean them. That’s why a fresh new mitt (or two!) is always an appreciated gift. This one features a non-slip silicone grip and an extra long length that helps protect arms.

Checkered Chef Cooling Rack
Amazon
$ 19.95

These cooling racks will save your favorite baker a lot of time and frustration. See, lots of cooling racks don't actually fit into sheet pans properly. We've done all the trial and error in order to find that this set fits just right. It'll work with the sheet pans your loved one already has, but you can also throw in some new ones if you're looking to round out the gift.

OXO 8-Piece Stainless Steel Measuring Cup/Spoon Set
Bed Bath & Beyond
$ 30.99

We love the brilliant use of magnets in this set. The cups and spoons will stay nice and neat in a drawer, but can still be grabbed with just one hand. This gift is sure to, um, measure up!

J.K. Adams Maple Plain Rolling Dowel
Amazon
$ 22.00

This simple standby is ideal for rolling out pie dough into a crust with just the right thickness. (The slightly textured surface holds a dusting of flour well, so it won’t stick to said dough.) It’s also a great tool to use to crush graham crackers or cookies — and get out some aggression while making dessert. Just saying.

Great Jones Patty Cake
Great Jones
$ 55.00

This find makes choosing a gift a piece of cake. These cake pans have everything a baker could want in a piece of bakeware: they conduct heat well, have a wavy bottom for an easy release, and the non-stick surface means more cake will make it to where it belongs (on a plate).

Silicone Perfect Pie Crust Mold
Williams Sonoma
$ 16.95

We’ve all ooh-ed and aah-ed over intricate pie crust posts on Instagram and dreamed of having enough time, not to mention a steady hand, to try to create something similar. In reality, it’s a lot harder than the pros make it look. Luckily, this silicon mold can help the baker in your life cheat a little and create impressive designs in a fraction of the time.

These bowls check all the boxes: They nest, they have handy pour spouts, they have lids (have you ever seen a bowl with a pour spout and lid?!), they’re dishwasher and freezer safe, and they’re crafted of sturdy melamine that won’t easily chip or crack. Their awesome Danish design doesn’t hurt either.
