BAKE OFF IS BACK!
If you’re a fan of The Great British Bake Off, like us, you’ve been waiting patiently all summer for the new series to start. Well, good news... The show has announced it will be back on Tuesday 21 September.
Every year, we're inspired by GBBO to get into the kitchen and bake every weekend, if not during the week as well. There’s nothing better than curling up to watch the show with a homemade Victoria sponge in front of you.
We're ready to buy loads of new baking equipment and accessories, as we re-discover the domestic goddesses that we really are, underneath it all, as Pru Leith cheers us on…
Here are some of the best baking accessories you can treat yourself to now GBBO is back on the TV; get ready to bake some delicious pies and pastries with your new gear.
Whilst we may receive commission for purchases made through our links, we never allow this to influence product selections.
Best Baking Gear 2021
1 of 10KITCHENAID Artisan 5KSM175PSBDR Stand Mixer
If you're a serious baker, then one of these KitchenAid Artisan Mixers is probably already on your radar; we've just found this beautiful limited-edition dried rose version and we're totally in love. This really does make a difference when making cakes and meringues; you won't know how you ever baked without it.

Everything you need to bake cupcakes, muffins, cakes, tarts, loaf cakes, and more – this eight-piece bakeware set provides you with all the equipment you need to practise before next year's GBBO auditions.
3 of 10Irish Clover Knot Embossed Rolling Pin
A clever way to make your biscuits look really unique and special is an embossed rolling pin – they'll look like something out of a French patisserie. You'll get one of Paul Hollywood's handshakes for these.

Look the part in the kitchen with a special apron; this one is available in a range of colours, and you can personalise it with your name underneath. Great for you or as a gift for a fellow baker.

An investment piece, this would make a wonderful Christmas gift or birthday present for a real star baker, holding up your recipe books while you bake in style. It's made from solid oak so will last a lifetime.
