Wedding Gifts for the Couple Who Loves to Bake

If you and your significant other love spending time together baking, you know how important it is to have the best gadgets in your kitchen. Unlike cooking which is generally considered to be a skill that doesn't require as much precision, if you forget a key ingredient or beat an egg too hard while baking the results can be disastrous (read: inedible). Although it's a hobby that has a prerequisite of patience, baking can cause even the most level-headed to lose their cool when they aren't armed with the right tools. If you and your partner have ever spent hours measuring and mixing only to have your baked goods come out of the oven tasting like cardboard, you know exactly what we're talking about.

To take a little of the guesswork out of the baking process, there are tons of innovative kitchen toys that make for perfect wedding registry additions. Need extra precision when measuring wet and dry ingredients? Register for a digital kitchen scale. Want to simply upgrade your bakeware? Replace those bent and weathered cookie sheets with some that are guaranteed to keep their shape and shiny finish. Feel like you're ready to take your skills beyond cookies and cupcakes and try your hand at baking your own bread? We found a baker that will help you make gorgeous baguettes at home.

Whatever it is that you like to bake in the kitchen, stocking your registry with the essentials necessary to turn out tasty treats is never a bad idea. So, without further adieu, it's time to toss the slowly cracking plastic mixing bowls you've had for years and register for some brand-new essentials that won't disappoint. Click through for all the baking must-haves to add to your gift list right now.
