Drum Roll Please…

Top Luxury Gifts #1 to #5

Gift Idea #1 — KitchenAid KP26M1XER Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixer

In our review, you’ll see that the KitchenAid KP26M1XER Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixer is a true baker’s stand mixer. With a 6 quart bowl to work in and a powerful 575-watt motor to drive its direct-drive transmission, this stand mixer is especially favored by bakers. KitchenAid has long since solved a problem it had with plastic gearboxes and this model comes with metal gearboxes standard since the spring of 2007. This particular model and size has over 3,260 reviews on Amazon, far more than any other mixer, and an average rating at this time of 4.3 out of 5 stars.

With the spiral dough hook, flat beater, wire whip, and a single-piece pouring shield, your lady baker will have a solid baker’s stand mixer. And KitchenAid offers over 15 more optional attachments if she needs more flexibility. The bowl is a lift design bowl which is more ridged than a tilt head and this design allows for a stronger motor and the ability to add the spiral dough hook.

Gift Idea #2 — Oster CKSTBRTW20 2-Pound Expressbake Breadmaker

The Oster CKSTBRTW20 2-Pound Expressbake Breadmaker is an excellent choice of a breadmaker for a larger family, and can do up to a 2-pound loaf. Right now it’s the #1 Best Seller in Bread Machines on Amazon, with an average 4.3 rating and over 1,400 reviews.

I recommended a different breadmaker last year (a Panasonic), but it didn’t do whole grain bread, and I decided to find a better model this year.

The Expressbake has a 13-hour programmable baking timer, so once you’ve got your bread recipes down pat, you can set and forget and come back anytime you want to fresh bread. I also like the 9 different bread settings (up from 5 for last year’s recommendation) and 3 crust settings. Who wants boring looking bread?

With a large LCD, you can see what stage the bread machine is in if you want to monitor its progress, and the Expressbake setting takes less than an hour to produce your loaf of bread. You can also work with dough or jam, although breads are my favorite. If you like to add nuts or fruits to your bread, there is an “add ingredient” tone to let you know when it’s time to act.

Here’s a small tip from a user (good for any bread machine):
Be sure to take the kneading paddle out of the bread right after you drop the loaf out on the table. Once removed, put in the bread pan but do not put in the kneading cylinder. The bread around the paddle is moist, and if it dries onto the cylinder, you may never get it off!

Gift Idea #3 — George Foreman Evolve Grill System

The George Foreman Evolve Grill comes with 2 removable grill pans and a non-stick waffle plates. The digital control panel helps control your cooking to just the right time. The nonstick ceramic coating allows you to cook without butter or oil if you want, and it truly does work to cut down on fats in your food. We’ve had one for years and love it to death.

If you aren’t familiar with George Foreman grills in general, you’ll love these. They have removable grill plates that can be washed in the dishwasher and they are incredibly easy to clean, especially if you wipe them down while they’re cooling so junk doesn’t dry on and coat them. I LOVE my George Foreman Grill.

They come with an adjustable slope and hinge to help keep the fat off the food, and it’s amazing how much healthier foods are when cooking with the fat or excess oils draining off. Even easier to clean up.

Best of all, you can use this for more than just baking. You can do all the normal indoor easy grilling, and you can also get other inserts for baking, sautés, toasting, different griddle configurations, and it does basically any other heated cooking you can think of with the full lineup of interchangeable plates available for the Evolve Grill System. George Foreman grills are truly multi-functional appliances and well worth the counter space.

My George Foreman grill is one of my most-prized kitchen appliances. What more could any women want — easy to clean, does lots of different things, works for all kinds of tasks, and healthy cooking, too!

Gift Idea #4 — Wilton 2109-9036 Ultimate Professional Cake Decorating Set with Tote — 216 pieces”

Be sure to take a look at the Wilton 2109-9036 Ultimate Professional Cake Decorating Set. If the women in your life loves to bake cakes, then this is an essential tool for her. It has all of the essential tips, cutters, shaping tools, spatulas and more to give her the ability to create even better masterpieces than before.

Indulge her passion for cake decorating and get her this ultimate set of cake tools for a Christmas gift. And of course you’ll be the wonderful person who gave her this useful cake decorating and baking set, so you should get to taste the results, right?

Everything she’ll need to decorate a cake is available here. One caution — if your gift recipient is a beginner enthusiast to cake decorating, this set doesn’t come with a “how to use these tools ” manual. My best recommendation is to get these three Wilton lesson books as well if she needs some guidance on how to get started. A few step-by-step instructions with pictures never hurts.

1. Wilton Decorating Basics Course 1
2. Wilton Student Decorating Kit Course 2
3. Wilton Student Decorating Kit Course 3

If you really want to go for the gusto on this gift, be sure to also check out the Wilton Ultimate Cake Decorating Tools Set and Tool Box Organizer (Blue with 263 pieces)

Gift Idea #5 — Wilton Decorator Preferred Cake Decorating Tool Caddy

Wilton’s Decorator Preferred Decorating Tool Caddy

is my favorite choice for a decorating kit tool caddy. The several sections for storing piping tips, piping bags, molds, and other baking supplies. It measures a roomy 17 x 8 x 8 inches.

Most bakers (including us) like our tools organized, and this Wilton caddy is great for that.

If she’s been baking for long, she has probably already collected a considerable number of Wilton or other accessories to practice her baking hobby or avocation. You can check out Wilton’s extensive tools online through this link. Everything from more unusual tips, to piping bags, lessons, food coloring, to cleaning tools. Give her a few stocking stuffers to go with the larger gift.

Chances are good that if you hover in the kitchen while she’s decorating or baking, you might spot some gaps in the tools she has available, and you can check out the Wilton options on Amazon for more choices.

Best Reasonably-Priced Gifts #6 to #11

Gift Idea #6 — Cuisinart Cookie Press with 18 Discs and 6 Decorating Tips

The Cuisinart Cookie Press with 18 Discs and 6 Decorating Tips makes dropping cookie dough a much easier proposition that my grandmother’s old “two-spoon” method.

While I’m not going to claim that Grandma’s old methods are outdated — not if I ever want cookies in THIS family again — when you’ve got a lot of holiday cookies to bake or bake sale batches to prepare, something faster is a good thing.

Plus I like the 18 different discs and 6 decorating tips for a total of 24 accessories to make pretty cookie shapes and decorations. It comes with a recipe book and a limited lifetime warranty. It’s dishwasher safe, too.

You can find another set of cookie press discs for Christmas here. Just make sure to check sizing to make sure they will work with your specific cookie press.

Gift Idea #7 — Totally Bamboo Reversible Baker’s Board

Totally Bamboo Reversible Baker’s Board are solid hardwood boards designed and pre-marked for bakers. A lot of bakers work on a hardwood board for stability and a pre-marked board makes sizing and measuring far easier while you’re rolling out dough for pies, phyllo dough, biscuits, or pastries.

The board’s reverse side has a carving butcher block with juice grooves and the board measures 17.95 inches by 12.5 inches and is made of an extremely durable bamboo wood. Best yet, two sides means less storage required and more versatility.

The pastry board is crafted to ensure consistent moisture content to avoid cracking or splitting, so your baker will have this pastry board for a long time to come.

There’s also a nice weights, measurements, and liquids conversion chart for those of us who can never remember how tablespoons translate to cups and back.

Gift Idea #8 — VillaWare V5375 Power Cookie Press

A VillaWare V5375 Power Cookie Press is a great holiday gift, birthday present, wedding present, or engagement gift for a baker, especially if she’s big on cookies!

It’s electric, cordless, and rechargeable, so this will definitely appeal to us ladies who like kitchen gadgets. (Hand raising here). It also comes with both everyday and holiday discs to create beautiful decorative (and tasty) cookies any time of the year.

With all 5.0 stars to date, one reviewer so far says that she can manage 5 to 7 dozen cookies pressed out within about 1.5 hours. Compare that to Grandma’s spoons!

There is a limited amount in stock right now, so check it out quickly.

So I’ve added another cookie press here as an alternate gift idea for you for #8.

Gift Idea Alternate for #8 — OXO Good Grips Cookie Press with Stainless Steel Disks and Storage Case

An OXO Good Grips Cookie Press is a great holiday gift, birthday present, wedding present, or engagement gift for a baker, especially if she loves to bake cookies!

This is the #1 Best Seller in Cookie Presses on Amazon, with over 7300 reviews.

In addition to the cookie press itself, you can also buy spring, autumn, and Christmas add-on disk sets so she can create yummy cookies all year long.

Gift Idea #9 — Wilton Fondant Roller, 20-Inch – Fondant Tool

Wilton’s Fondant Roller Pin 20-Inch – Fondant Tool is a solid choice for a baker’s rolling pin. Unlike most pie and pastry rolling pins, larger sheets of fondant sometimes need some extra handling capacity.

This 20-inch smooth and extra wide rolling pin can roll out a beautiful piece of fondant, especially if you add the separately available rings. Because there are no handles, the rolling surface doesn’t taper, and your baker has use of the full length of the fondant rolling pin. Its non-stick surface easily serves to lift and cover your cakes with the fondant sheet as well.

While you’ll get the best benefit from working with your cakes and fondant, it works well for pies and pastry, too. Some reviewers felt that it was harder on the hands to use, but others found it easier to use because it was heavier and worked well with the measuring rings.

Gift Idea #10 — Fox Run 3829 Marble Pastry Board White, 16 x 20 x 0.75 inches

This Fox Run 3829 Marble Pastry Board White, 16 x 20 x 0.75 inches is a formidable 16×20 inch working surface for all of your baker’s pastry board needs. If your baker is working with tart shells or any other butter-based pastries, they need to maintain the dough’s consistency and keep cold butter bits intact so the dough can create essential flakiness.

Just working with refrigerated dough won’t cut it because the rolling pin and board create friction and heat while working with the dough. If the butter bits aren’t cold enough, the dough won’t be its best, and the natural coolness of the marble in this pastry board helps reduce issues with melting.

Most importantly for this board, it has over 2,390 reviews and an average of 4.5 stars. Buyers love this marble pastry board.

Gift Idea #11 — Wilton Tilt N Turn Ultra Cake Turntable

Wilton’s Tilt N Turn Ultra Cake Turntable gives bakers the best of both worlds with its ability to both rotate cakes for decorating around the sides and also tilt cakes to better reach different surfaces.

Cake decorating is precise work and takes a steady hand to make beautiful baked art. The non-slip design and balanced base weight helps hold the plate surface securely, and the rotating top plate rotates in either direction for left-handed use or right-handed manipulation.

While working on a section, a baker can lock it down, and the 18 different plate tilt positions are also secure.

The Wilton Tilt N Turn Ultra is taller than many compact turntables used in cake design at 5 inches, and the plate is 12 inches in diameters, so it can hold a larger cake comfortably.

Best of all, Amazon users rate it currently at 4.7 out of 5 Stars, which is an excellent rating – and Wilton fans are really picky with their reviews. Reviewers rave about how stable and useful it is, and wonder how they ever got along with other cake stands and cake decorating turntables before.

Best Budget Gifts #12 to #15

Gift Idea #12 — OXO Good Grips Silicone Cookie Spatula

OXO Good Grips Silicone Cookie Spatula with add-on flexible turner. How much can you say about a cookie spatula? Normally not much, although this pretty dude does come in blue, green, red, and grey/black.

However, OXO makes an incredible kitchen utensil, with the best comfortable grips I’ve ever found on any spatula, spoon, or turner. And I started with silicone kitchen gadgets several years ago and I’ll never go back. They’re basically non-stick, and the utensils don’t heat up when you leave them touching a pan or pot, and that’s a major blessing. Plus the silicone surface doesn’t hurt your pots and pans when you scuff along or scrape them along the bottom or sides to scoop, loosen, or lift things.

So I guess there’s a lot you can say about a cookie spatula, at least one with as good a grip and as useful a surface as Oxo’s ones.

Gift Idea #13 — Fox Run, Silicone Baking Mat with Measurements

Fox Run Silicone Baking Mats with Measurements are a wonderful addition to any baker’s kitchen, especially if she struggles with space issues because it can be rolled or stored flat. She can use it in all oven types and it provides a wonderful heat distribution for baked goods.

There are metric to Imperial weight and measure conversions if your baker needs them, but I think its best features are the fact that it rolls up to store away, and the silicone mat is both stain-proof and resistant to “stuff” sticking on it. To clean it, it just needs to be wiped down with a damp, soft sponge and warm water, and only needs some soap in extreme cases.

With over 630 ratings at an average of 4.7 stars, this is a winner.

However, this mat isn’t good for cutting or scraping dough because it will damage the silicone surface. It also shouldn’t be used under a broiler or on a grill. But for a baker to use in creating even, well-baked goods, it is a nice kitchen baking tool.

Gift Idea #14 — Etekcity Luminary Lite 22lb Food Kitchen Digital Scale

The Etekcity Luminary Lite 22lb Food Kitchen Digital Scale doesn’t take up a lot of room in your kitchen, and it serves as a general kitchen and food scale. It’s also accurate and precise enough for baking enthusiasts down to 0.1oz or 1 gram, and can manage 22 lbs without problems.

This scale is both water-resistant which is great in a kitchen and also rechargeable. I love the recharge capability because I don’t have a ton of plugs for scales to live near and I hate changing batteries.

I love the tare and auto-off features. I can’t stand messing with a scale to zero it out. And you’re safe wherever your baker lives or bakes. It will do grams, pounds, and ounces for weighing or conversion.

Normally inexpensive products like this turn out to be somewhat cheap in manufacture or quality, but despite the price, this scale appears to perform much better than reviewers expected. Just keep in mind that this is a “compact” scale. If the baker in your life needs one for measuring large containers, it might be too small for that.

With ratings of an average of 4.8 (great ratings!) stars and over 19,000 reviewers weighing (LOL) in on it, this should be a winner for you — both flexible and powerful.

Gift Idea #15 — #1 Rated Amazon Basics Reusable Silicone Baking Cups

#1 Rated Amazon Basics Reusable Silicone Baking Cups and Cupcake Liners are an incredible holiday present for any baker. I’ve got them on my Christmas present list again this year so I have even more to use. No more messy paper baking cups again.

You get 24 baking cups, 4 each of 6 colors (pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple).

They are made of BPA-free, FDA approved, Eco-friendly, and non-stick silicone. And because they are flexible, it’s incredibly easy to get baked treats out of them. They’re freezer, oven, microwave, and dishwasher safe for easy use.

With reusable silicone baking cups, bakers won’t have to hassle with muffin tins or cupcake papers, and they’ll go right on a baking sheet into the oven. And I’ve got my eye on them for some of the other suggestions they mention — Ice-cream desserts, cheesecakes, gelatin, and gooey chocolate-lined desserts. I can’t wait to get some more for Christmas.

This is a solid product and I prefer not to buy off-brand for these since the brands and Amazon are solid and inexpensive. Amazon’s offer is #1 in Baking Cups and has nearly 77,000 ratings with an average of 4.8 stars.
