Bitty Baking Supplies

Half the fun of tiny baking is the fact that everything is just so darn cute. Its like playing dollhouse!

Here's a rundown of some of my favorite thing to have on hand for bitty baking:

• Mixing bowls; small and medium size (I have metal and glass)
• Mini loaf pan (great for small loaves of bread)
  
• Ultra mini loaf pans
• Mini cake tins (for cakes and pies)
  
• Mini spring-form pan (for cheesecakes and tarts)
• Mini whisk
  
• Mini rolling pin
• Mini pot (for melting chocolate, cooking fillings, etc)
  
• Small rubber spatula (every drop counts in small batch baking!)

The Stash.

Also nice:

• Egg white separator (handy since a large egg is usually to big for a small batch)
• Small dry ingredients measuring cups (1/2, 1/3, 1/4 cup)
• Small liquid ingredients measuring cup (yes, there is a difference!)
  
• Teaspoon/tablespoon "kit" (the kind with all on one ring)
• 6 count muffin pan
  
• Other cute and mini pans, casserole dishes, etc.

These things can be a little trickier to find than your average bakeware, but often craft stores like Michael's, or even discount stores like Ross or Marshall's carries them. I even stole my mini rolling pin from a play-doh kit, so it helps to be resourceful! I bet you could steal some easy bake oven ware as well (just check and make sure its "real" oven-safe). And you can always hit up ebay or amazon. If all else fails, clean cans can be re-purposed as cake tins and, yes, big baking sheets will still cook just as well as small ones.

Another benefit of small baking is the fact that it requires less cleanup. Thirty seconds is all it takes to scrub out a mini cake pan!
