Holiday Baking Essentials You’ll Actually Use

It’s that time of year when the smell of cinnamon, sugar, and everything delicious fills the house! I’ve found that whether I’m baking a cake with the grandkids or making cookies for a cookie exchange, having the right tools makes all the difference. These are baking essentials that are not only practical but also built to last because nobody has time for flimsy gadgets that quit halfway through a recipe!

• Gifts for Grandkids That Are Meaningful, Not Just Trendy
• Holiday Dresses You Can Wear to Every Winter Event

This is a “do as I say, not as I do” post. I’m not a baker, but one year, I got the big idea to bake homemade candies for my neighbors. My DIL mentioned that she would like to give the grandkids’ teachers a gift, so we made one with prepackaged food since that was all the school would allow.

I may not be much of a baker, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t know how. Here are some Holiday Baking essentials that will make your life easier.
