As a baker, we literally need to acquire everything and anything. If we want to create unique and incredibly designed baked goods, then we need the right tools to do so. I'm talking about various shapes of baking pans, to durable whisks, mixers, and cookie molds, if we want to bake a specific pastry or dessert, then we have to have it. That's why bakers need all the essentials to be as creative as possible!

Our kitchen needs to be filled with baking accessories to create stunning and delectable masterpieces! And don't think that too much is... too much. When it comes to baking, you can never have too many accessories. I guarantee you'll end up using everything that you own! So, these are the ideal accessories every baker needs for a happy kitchen.

There's a lot of frosting in baking and we all have to admit that that's the best part. From cakes to cupcakes, cookies, and literally anything else that you want to frost, you can't simply use a tub of frosting and a butter knife to get the job done. And don't even think about stuffing a plastic baggie with frosting and snipping off one of the corners as a frosting tip, because your frosting designs will come out lame and uneven.

Instead, for one of the coolest accessories every baker needs is this decorating tool set by OXO. Professional, precise, and it can give you the most detailed frosting designs you've ever wished for. It's specifically constructed for comfort and precision for consistent control. This kit also features five frosting tips to give you diverse designs.

However, this specific type is decoratively designed to give you the finest grinding ever. While the pestle features a traditional beech wood handle with a ceramic end, the mortar is in a stunning unglazed ceramic design.

Ideal for brushing on egg wash or butter onto any of your baking creations, this basting brush by Le Creuset can definitely handle all of those. Instead of using a brush that fairly resembles to a paintbrush, this silicone brush can transfer anything onto the dessert. Plus, washing it is a breeze.

The brush head includes a crown-shaped, conical silicone bristles that can hold the melted butter and egg wash accurately. Then it distributes it without a mess onto your dessert! With the smooth wood handle, you can comfortably work with it. Also, the flared ends on the handle prevents any slipping.

Ever baker needs a mixer... it's a must! How are you properly mixing your batter without a mixer? Are you simply using a whisk and a bowl? Your arms will be like jelly after fully mixing the ingredients together. That's why a mixer is much more essential. It basically does the hard work for you in a couple of minutes!

Many bakers have multiple cookbooks laying around, because how else are they going to be inspired to bake anything? However, in the midst of baking, handling a dessert cookbook can be pretty messy. As the book is laying on the filthy table while cooking, you would need to constantly look over at the book to see and read the steps better.

For baking, it's essential to have large bowls to mix in all the ingredients.
