Kitchen and baking tools from measuring cups to rolling pins

Tools for measuring, rolling and decorating

Cooking and baking accessories make many steps easier in the kitchen. Here you'll find tools for prepping, mixing and decorating, from measuring ingredients and rolling out dough to decorating cakes and cupcakes.

Which kitchen tools you need for what

A measuring cup with an easy-to-read scale makes baking from a recipe easier. A smooth rolling pin helps with fondant and rolled dough. To get an even thickness, place two strips of the same height next to the dough and roll over them. Silicone tools like spatulas scrape every bit of batter from the bowl and won't scratch nonstick pans. A pastry brush is handy for greasing or brushing with egg wash. With a fondant smoother, you can smooth fondant on the cake without leaving fingerprints. Each item lists the maximum temperature a silicone tool can withstand.

• Measuring cups, mixing bowls and whisks
• Rolling pins, cutter accessories and pastry brushes
• Heat-resistant silicone tools
• Decorating supplies for cakes and cupcakes

Tip: Fondant sticks less if you dust your work surface lightly with cornstarch or powdered sugar instead of flour.
