Essentials for Your Date Night Desserts
Planning to prepare one of these recipes for your partner? Or maybe you’ll bake together. Let’s be sure you’ve got everything you need.
Depending on your recipe, you might need various baking equipment. Solid mixing bowls are always an essential item to have in your kitchen, no matter what you’re preparing. I like this set of 6 from Amazon that has tons of different sizes. A trusty hand mixer can make your baking process even faster.
If you’re making cupcakes, a muffin tin is vital–this silicone one is said to bake muffins and cupcakes to perfection.
For the skillet cookie, here’s a nice skillet that is the perfect size.
