Anyway, all this made me realized that there are a couple of things that I have been missing and thought that maybe that happens to some of you as well.   Here are some of the things that I consider that are essentials when it comes to baking.      1. If you do not bake a lot, just do it in special occasions or holidays a hand mixer is fine for you. BUT if you bake a couple of times a week or freeze big quantities you definitely need a stand mixer.      2. You will definitely need a spoon shaped spatula or a set of spatulas . In my case I always need more spatulas. I mean its like every time I bake I run out of everything in my kitchen.      3. Baking sheets!! Nothing more to say here...      4. Mea

     HELLO EVERYONE!     Today I wanted to talk about some mistakes we all make at some point when we bake its nothing to be ashamed of. Hope this helps! Good luck. Forgetting to grease your pan! Not waiting for the ingredients to get to room temperature. Checking your cake for checking how it goes. This may make you cake not to cook even and can change the temperature in the oven by letting some of the hot air go.  Using the wrong baking pan.  Not mixing your batter enough or mixing it way too long. Baking at the wrong temperature. Forgetting to preheat the oven. You forget to cool sheets between batches.
