‘Bake’ up! It’s World Baking Day on 17 May! Whether they’re a seasoned baker or just love munching on warm cookies, we’ve got an ‘egg’-citing list of baking gifts to help them celebrate this delicious day in the tastiest way possible. It’s a day to witness the magic of flour, butter, sugar, and eggs transforming into delightful treats. So, encourage them to roll up their sleeves, dust off those aprons, and embrace the joys of baking! Ready to see what our top 7 baking gift ideas that you absolutely must send? Let’s rise to the occasion!
1. Mess-proof Personalised Aprons
No baking session is complete without a trusty apron to protect clothes from flour explosions and sticky dough splatters. It’s also the perfect armour for any baking wars that may arise! Why not make it personal? A personalised apron makes a thoughtful gift for any baking enthusiast. Embellish their name or a cute baking-related quote to put a smile on their face. (P.S. Grans will love it)
For the little bakers, a kids’ apron and baking hat set is just the ticket to inspire them to whip up their first batch of cookies. Miniature aprons and hats aren’t just adorable; they make baking a family affair. They also help ignite a lifelong love of baking. Who knows, they might just be the next Buddy Valastro from Cake Boss.
2. Stylish Utensils And Serveware
Every baker needs quality tools to create their masterpieces. Equip them with top-notch utensils like a cake lifter for seamless cake transfers. Plus it can double up a stylish table decoration. Or, opt for a stunning cake stand to show off their creations in style.
For those who believe presentation is everything, a gorgeous platter to serve jam and custard tarts adds that final touch of elegance. Complement it with dessert spoons, dessert forks (like those from Carrol Boyes), and knives for a truly polished serving set. They might just want to host a tea party every month!
3. A Recipe For Success: Books!
Inspire creativity with a recipe book brimming with new baking ideas! They’ll be excited to whip up a fresh batch of meringue cake or master the art of making the classic South African melktert (milk tart). Choose books that match their skill level or interests—whether it’s a sweet and sticky koeksister or an easy blueberry cheesecake recipe.
Or you can send a personalised notebook for them to jot down their baking secrets. It’ll be the start of a new tradition of passing down special recipes. The joy of baking starts with great recipes, and these baking gifts offer endless possibilities.
4. Sip In Style With Mugs
There’s nothing like a comforting cup of tea or hot chocolate while waiting for the cookies to bake. Treat them to personalised mugs that feature their name, a cute baking pun, or even a photo. They can serve these mugs to guests alongside their delicious bakes, making their tea time extra special. Add a set of coasters for that extra layer of style and protection for their countertops. For those on the go, a travel mug ensures they can sip their favourite drink while keeping one hand free for nibbling on their favourite baked treat. Especially if they can’t wait to get home to indulge in Nana’s shortbread cookies.
5. ‘Tea’-lightful Coffee Hampers
Elevate their baking day with a tea and coffee hamper filled with their favourite brews. These hampers make delightful baking gifts, pairing perfectly with freshly baked cupcakes or biscuits. There’s a ‘tea’-licious hamper for everyone from Vida E Caffè to Toni Tea and Nestlé.
Hit a slam dunk by completing their drinking experience with crunchy cookies or biscuits, perfect for dipping in their favourite hot drink. They can cosy up with their mug in one hand and a warm cookie in the other, savouring the comforting flavours. It’s the perfect winter combination!
6. Go Overboard With Chopping Boards
A good chopping board is a versatile tool in any kitchen. Choose a board with measurement guides to help them prep and portion their ingredients like a pro. Or opt for a board that doubles as a serving platter. It’s a charming way to showcase their baked goods.
Our chopping boards are made of wood and glass material, making them a sustainable gift idea! Take your pick from chopping boards in circular or rectangular shapes, with unique designs that’ll make their kitchen stand out! It’s a practical and personal baking gift they’ll cherish for years.
7. Freshly Baked Sweet Treats
Sometimes, you just want to indulge in baked goodies without all the work. Send a bakery goodie like brownies or a Château Gâteaux cake to satisfy their sweet tooth. For the cupcake lover, cupcakes in jars or a classic box of chocolate cupcakes are sure to impress.
For those looking for the best bakery in Johannesburg, a personalised cake is sure to ‘bake’ them smile! The soft sponge, the tongue-tingling icing and the oh-so-sparkling design will capture their heart! Doughnuts are another fun baking gift idea. Who wouldn’t love a box of freshly baked goodies delivered right to their doorstep? Count us in!
