Mixers
I look for two main things when choosing a mixer: durability and size. Will you be baking large cakes or big batches of cookies? In that case, a 5 or 6-quart mixer will be a better investment.
If you don't bake too often or do mostly smaller bakes, then a hand-held mixer or 3.5-quart mixer should be fine. I've had just as much luck with affordable mixers as I have with big-brand mixers, but I try to use my affordable mixers less often than my heavy-duty mixers.
Essential Baking Tools & Measuring Devices
If you are baking a lot, you don't need to have multiples of the same tools, but rather, at least one of each tool that you love. I have my favorite whisks, measuring cups, etc, and I choose to use them every time I bake. This helps with consistency across all my bakes.
Silicone Liquid Measuring Cups
These are the only liquid measuring cups I use. You've probably seen me use them in my cake videos! They are flexible for easy pouring and provide easy-to-read measurements,
Baker's Math Digital Scale
Using grams measurements with a Kitchen scale will guarantee that your baked goods come out consistent every time. I own two of these kitchen scales that have lasted a long time. I love the size and durability, but any affordable kitchen scale should work well in your baking recipes.
