Stand mixer
An absolute must for baking, a stand mixer is a great tool for any kitchen whether you're trying out a new cake recipe or making some dough. Try to find one that comes with a flat beater, a wire whisk and a spiral dough hook to make mixing, whipping and kneading a breeze. Some also include a pouring shield to avoid any spills when adding ingredients, and preventing more clean up is always a plus! Crate and Barrel, $299.95.
