Gift Ideas For An Aspiring Baker
Baking is one of my favourite things to do. My Mom taught me to bake and I, in turn, taught my children to bake. Some of my fondest memories were baking with my children. If you have a person in your life that loves to bake and you want to give them some items to get them started OR if you know someone about to move out on their own and they need to set up a bakers kitchen, I have done two lists: One for beginners or those just setting up a kitchen. One for intermediate bakers or those who already have the basics.
