Baking Equipment List

Hi everyone, here is an equipment list for baking cupcakes, some things do not necessarily have to be used but will help you out in making delicious, light cupcakes. 

Whisk - Use this to mix in your eggs (or your egg whites if you added them first!). Also, if your butter is slightly melted (10-20 seconds in the microwave) it makes it easier to cream the butter and sugar together.

Mixing Spoons - These are so useful and don't have to have a specific use but, try to steer clear of wooden spoons they are very difficult to clean and often not cleaned properly, plus plastic spoons wash up better and last longer.

Large Mixing Bowl - This one is pretty obvious and does what is says on the tin but, has to be big enough so you don't decorate the kitchen walls with cake batter!

Plenty Of Teaspoons - I always find myself using at least 3 of these while baking. I use them for anything from rescuing unwanted pieces of eggshell to making sure I don't have too much flour. 

The Cutest Cupcake Cases You Can Find - You need these for your cupcakes to bake in, i have silicone ones that cost a little bit more than paper cases but, you can use over and over again.

Cupcake Baking Tray - Again, quite an obvious one just know this will definitely come in handy.

Sieve - Always swift your dry ingredients to avoid horrible lumps in your delicious cake.

Spoon With Holes In - As I mentioned in my last blog post use this when adding in dry ingredients, stirring in a figure of eight motion to work lots of air into the batter.

Cake tester or skewer - Use one of these to make sure your cakes are cooked by inserting a tester into the centre of your cakes and it should come out clean.

Weighing Scales - With baking you have to make sure you are pretty accurate with your measurements to get the best results.

Electric Mixer - You don't necessarily need this but it does make things a little easier and quicker.

Ice Cream Scoop - this makes sure your cakes are all the same size and makes transferring batter from the bowl into the cases less messy and slow.

Cooling Rack - After baking pop your cupcakes on a cooling rack. It lets cold air circulate which makes them cool down faster.

Silicone Mat - This makes sure your bowl never slips, they are super useful and not too expensive.
