A few years ago, if you would have told me I'd love baking, I probably would have laughed. I'm a total Carrie Bradshaw when it comes to using my kitchen and would rather use my oven as storage space. Cooking dinner has just never been my thing, but as we're spending more time at home, I've been trying to get more into it. While I'm still not really into making meat or veggies, I realized I love baking. It started with brownies, then a cake, some Saturday morning pancakes, and before I knew it I was looking up how to make chocolate chip muffins from scratch.
Needless to say, baking has become my new favorite pastime, but my kitchen is seriously lacking utensils and gadgets that I need. I decided to go on a mission to purchase a few new things that'll help me bake anything I want. Ahead, you can check out the 14 things on my wish list. Whether you love baking too or are thinking of exploring it more, you can shop these fun picks along with me. From silicone cupcake molds to cute mixing bowls, most of these are already in my virtual shopping cart and might end up in yours too. Take a look.
