The Baker's Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide

Sugar cookie decorating is truly where baking and crafting meet in one delicious activity. Learning the ins and outs of royal icing and perfecting your piping is a labor of love, so we’ve rounded up  a bunch of gifts that will make their decorating sessions easier, whether they’re just starting out or already making edible works of art on the regs. Pairing the How To Cookie it and How To Pipe It collections as a mega bundle is great for newbs, and our Holiday Cookie Activity book is perfect for more advanced decorators. And our new cookie turntable is the ultimate addition to any cookie decorating toolkit. Plus, if they’re more excited about making the cookies...they’ll probably need someone to eat all those cookies, right? Who said gift giving has to be completely selfless?

Macarons are bougie and gourmet cookies can be mind blowing, but our first love will always be cake. These gifts are perfect for the bakers who are the designated cake baker for all the birthdays and events in your family or friend group. The Deluxe Crumb Coat & Chill bundle is  great for any baker while the Simple Syrup Squeeze Bottle bundle is better for bakers who are all about fondant and mega cake projects, so they can keep their cakes moist during marathon decorating projects. And if your beloved baker has long hair? Donut scrunchie to the rescue, baby!

We’re obviously big on cake around here, but the truth is cake is  only one of many, many delicious treats a baker may enjoy creating. If your baker is less enthused on traditional caking and more into things like pies, mini bakes, tarts, macarons this is the list for them! If they don’t already have a Kitchenaid and you can swing it, it’s such a versatile mixer that can be used for a multitude of bakes. Also the liquid magic marshmallow flavor is ridiculously good and works in everything from buttercream to batter.

If you’re looking to make a big impression and spoil your baker- a Kitchenaid Mixer and bundle of tools is a pretty great place to start, no matter what their specialty is. Def confirm that it’s a color they love and will match their kitchen, or hang onto that gift receipt if you go this route. If your baker already has a baller kitchen set up, a new activity book, apron or cake themed hoodie are fun options, and if you’re just looking for stocking stuffers or working with a tight budget a MixerMate is a small but mighty gamechanger for bakers who already have a Kitchenaid, and bottle or two of gourmet sprinkles will literally never fail. Never.

So make yourself a peppermint hot chocolate, put on your fave holiday album, and enjoy a cozy list writing session to pamper the bakers you love!
