It's not easy to find the perfect gifts for bakers—even if you're a baker yourself. It's likely your favorite at-home pastry chefs and cupcake enthusiasts already have tons of baking essentials in their kitchen cabinets, like measuring cups, hand mixers, whisks, rolling pins, and so on. What more could they possibly need? Well, this list will make adding to their gear and gadgets a piece of cake.

The items we've curated here are the kitchen gifts and accessories they never knew they kneaded. There's a trendy sourdough bread kit, a pretty cutting board that can be engraved with a family recipe, and even a cookie cutter that can be customized to look exactly like their pet. (Wouldn't that make the cutest gift for dog lovers?!) Or, you can elevate their more extravagant baking projects with cool appliances like a mini cake pop maker or a brand-new cookie press. Many of these gift for chefs can double as cute counter decorations, too. No matter what you choose, these gifts + the baker in your life are a guaranteed batch made in heaven. Now, the only thing left to do is make sure they save some home-baked treats for you!
