18 Amazon Gifts For The Baker Who Has Everything

Whether it's measuring cups, mixing bowls, or spatulas, skilled bakers know the importance of having every tool they need on hand to perfect their favorite recipes. While this highly-organized approach to baking and maintaining a kitchen space is important, it can make gifting for the avid baker in your life rather hard. After all, do they really need another gift card to the King Arthur Baking Company website?

We've done some of the legwork to locate baking-related gifts that are a little outside of the proverbial box. These kitchen gadgets, ingredients, cookbooks, and other items will help your loved ones explore and grow their passion for baking. Everything here can be shipped straight to your doorstep — or even better yet, shipped to the porch of the lucky recipient with a little gift tag that reads "Hey! Hope you love this!" And here's a spoiler alert: They won't just love it — they'll also use it.

A versatile baker should always have three types of flour on hand: all-purpose, bread flour, and pastry flour. The latter is a type of flour best suited for making tender baked goods, thanks to its low gluten content. If you have an experienced baker in your life who is looking to try their hand at homemade croissants or pastries, you'll want to gift them a container of this stuff.

This Dominique Ansel Bakery pastry flour comes in a convenient screw-top carton that allows for spill-proof pouring. It's also easy to store and have on hand for when the craving for fluffy pancakes strikes.

Tempered chocolate is a must-have for bakers. The tempering process ensures that the chocolate stays glossy and smooth as it's melted, which makes it ideal for making garnishes to adorn more elaborate bakes. These chocolate discs are easy to use; just melt them down in a bowl and you'll have chocolate that's ready to be shaped, sculpted, or molded. Or, you can always chop up these semi-sweet pieces and use them for a delicious batch of classic chocolate chip cookies or brownies.
