Top 5 Baking Gifts
1) DIY Chocolate Truffle Kit
This DIY Baking Kit for Chocolate Truffles provides all the pre-measured ingredients and a detailed recipe card so you can make gourmet truffles at home. The kit is hand-packed from start to finish by the Red Velvet team in Brooklyn, NY. The ingredients—including cocoa and sugar—are gluten free. This is the easiest way to bake at home, and a memorable activity for the whole family.
2) Modern Rolling Pin
A sleek design and bold feel make this feel like a rolling pin ahead of its time. You’ll marvel at how the Modern glides along your fingertips when you roll out your favorite dough.
3) Visual Measuring Cups
So smart and so fun. Measuring cups ditch the tiny numbers and let the shape tell the story—a half of a cup is the half of the cup. They help make baking and cooking accessible for everyone from kids to adults. The cups neatly nest together to take up less space.
4) “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.
5) 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.
