#318 Elizabeth @ The Collegiate Baker: “My favorite baking tool is definitely my grandmother’s kitchen aid mixer. My mom mentioned that it was stored in the basement one day after I’d been blogging for about six months and I couldn’t believe she hadn’t told me about it before! I don’t know what I would do without it, though. :)”
Congratulations, Elizabeth! You will also be notified by email.
I’ll be back later today with another recipe!

Hello, my friends! Today’s a special day here on this little old blog. We’re talking fabulous gifts for bakers (and lovers of pretty things) and to make matters more exciting, one super-lucky reader will receive ALL of these goodies! Not one, or two, but all. Kind of awesome, right?
See, the thing is I love stuff. I love looking at pretty things, I love buying pretty things and I most definitely love giving pretty things–throughout the year and beyond. With the holidays just around the corner, it has me thinking even more gift-giving thoughts, so I figured I’d compile a bunch of my favourites–things that I currently own and adore.
Sweetapolita Loves:
1. IceMilk Aprons: Aprons are always a hit with bakers, and I positively adore these. I own the monogrammed Frosty Tin Marshmallows style and have gifted several other styles to family. Embracing style, quality and tradition all with an heirloom theme, each apron is packaged in a preserves jar and comes with an apron story card, 3 blank recipe cards and signature heritage tag. These aprons are a truly special gift.
2. I Do Dishtowel: Lovely kitchen linens are always appreciated, but one adorned with confectionery dots and wedding cake? Yes, please.
3. Pom Pom Flower Treat Boxes: Don’t feel that you always have to gift treat boxes filled with treats (although that never disappoints)–pretty treat packaging itself is such a great way to inspire bakers, and is something some of us have a hard time buying ourselves. Besides, you never know–you just might see that treat-filled box back under the tree with your name on it.
4. Pink Stripe Cupcake Box: Again, I love getting and giving pretty packaging for gifts, inspiring the recipient to bake and create. Boxes like this make home bakers feel as though they’re running the sweetest shoppe in town.
5. Cupcake Measuring Spoons: I probably don’t need to explain why these made the list, but I have these and they make every measure that much sweeter. You can find these and at one of my favourite online shops, I’m With Cupcake. With everything from much-loved stripey paper party straws and balloons to milk bottles and pretty packaging, this shop just shouts happy. Sweetapolita readers receive 20% discount off $10+ orders when you enter the promo code “SWEETAPOLITA.”
6. Whisk Pendant/Charm: Where do I even begin? When my talented friend Sweet Paul discovered and shared these from Frances & Co Pendants awhile back, I bought one right away and haven’t taken it off since. The talented artisan, Frances, creates this irresistible whisk in both sterling silver and 18k gold-dipped options strung on an 18-inch box chain, and it simply makes the perfect baker’s gift. I cherish mine and have had everyone from postmen to passersby notice & compliment it.
♥ ♥ ♥
7. Yum Yum Ice Cream Serving Party Pack: If this adorable polka-dotted and striped ice cream serving ensemble from Sucre Shop doesn’t make your giftee twinkle, I’ll give up cake for a year. What better incentive to throw an ice cream party (and invite you) than the sweetest eco-friendly serving supplies all ready to go? Brooke Pratt, the celebrated artisan behind this array of stylish wooden utensils, creates the cutest party designs on everything from ice cream scoops to forks and can customize colours, images and sayings for any event.
8. Marshmallow Madness!: Dozens of Puffalicious Recipes
9. Escali Arti Glass Kitchen Scale: With a rainbow of colours to choose from and state-of-the-art scale design at an affordable price, this scale will take home bakers to the next level and make them smile every time they use it. Throughout this blog I’ve expressed my feelings on how important it is to weigh your baking ingredients for best results, and now we can all do it in colourful style.
10. Pure Vanilla: Irresistible Recipes and Essential Techniques
11. Lite Bites Candle Forks: More awesomeness that I found on I’m With Cupcake. Sometimes quirky candles are all you need to make a classic cake a show-stopper, and I think these make the cutest gifts! Fun candles are another thing that bakers just don’t tend to buy themselves, or at least I seem to neglect them at times, and yet they can totally make the cake.
12. Ms. Food Face Plate: We have the boy version of this plate (you might remember this and this), but I’ve just bought this Ms. version for my cakelets for Christmas. Okay, so this isn’t really a baking-themed gift, but it sure makes life that much more fun. Kids, of course, adore this and every meal yields a different work of art, but sometimes big kids (like me) also love playing with their food.
13. Fete Origin iPhone Case: Last but so, so not least, the most gorgeous iPhone case I’ve seen in all of my existence. And it just so happens to be the one I chose for my newly upgraded iPhone a few weeks ago when I literally went through every one of the thousands of options on Society6. Designed by the super-talented Jacqueline Maldonado, this artsy case may not be a literal depiction of confection, but to me it’s the most delicious looking colour-combination and pattern ever (you can even find her incredible artwork on bedding, shower curtains and more). I may not use my iPhone to bake, but it’s always in arms’ reach providing the soundtrack to all of my baking adventures and ready for snapping Instagrams. With its sturdy impact-resistant and flexible hard plastic case, this is an all-around winner.
Speaking of Instagrams, even though these didn’t make the giveaway (would have been logistically tricky), I can’t leave out the awesomeness that is StickyGram–your Instagram photos printed as adorable square magnets. (Use my friend code FRIENDD5QH and get $2.00 off your first sheet!) Probably one of my personal favourite options for gifting. With free worldwide shipping and only $14.99/sheet of 9 magnets ($12.99 when you use my discount code) you honestly can’t go wrong. I ordered a bunch of these, and can’t wait to order more for holiday gifts. Perfect for grandparents, friends and more.
So onto this super-awesome giveaway of all my best-loved goodies!

My favorite baking tool is my set of icing tips. I just adore putting a lovely finishing touch on things!
My favourite baking tool is my Maytag Gemini oven!! I can use both ovens for baking & it cuts my time in half!!! It’s awesome if you’re baking 2 separate things too because both ovens can be at different temperatures. I don’t know what I did without it!!

My favourite baking tool would have to be my mum’s Kitchen Aid stand mixer — she taught me to bake with it, and lots of fun times happen around that mixer! Now that I’m studying abroad for the year I really miss having a stand mixer in my kitchen!

My favourite item is my small, but growing, selection of aprons. I feel like Mrs Cleaver when I put one on and it inspires me to cook and bake.
My numero uno baking bestie is by kitchen aid stand mixer! We have been through alot together; failures and feats alike. I also would have an honorable mention – my fat daddio cake pans! The heat distribution is amazing! And they are such a breeze to clean up.
I tweeted this page on Twitter (and also started following you!)
My favorite baking tool is my turntable. I always feel more professional when I’m using it to ice and decorate cakes.

My favourite tool has got to be my kitchenaid, because now I can easily make SMB! For non-powered options, I’d have to go with my frosting turntable. Goodness – I do hope I win this contest! If not, I am definitely picking up that turquoise scale because it is gorgeous!
Hi Rosie! Cannot live without my Kitchenaid. Not an original answer but those who know cannot live without :)! Thank you!

Retweeted!! Such a lovely giveaway…I’m totally getting those stickygrams, too!
P.S. I already like you on FB, does that count? :-)
My favorite baking tool is my KitchenAid Mixer. I first used one in high school in the 80s. My Foods teacher was a HUGE fan of all they can do and she was right. When my husband and I assembled our bridal registry back in 1999 a KitchenAid mixer. I was very lucky. My sister, knowing it was the thing that I had most hoped to receive, surprised me with it at my bridal shower. I have used it constantly since. I’ve only recently had to replace the paddle attachment. I would not bake nearly as much if I did not have this tool.
My favorite item is probably my Kitchen Aid mixer, but parchment paper is probably something I should at least mention because of its usefulness (especially with cookie baking!).

My favorite baking tool is my chicken rubber spatula. Its the best spatula I have and my mom gave it to me for Christmas and it always reminds me of all the my lovely chickens in the back yard. <3
Already a fan on FB and also shared the post!
My grandmothers old 8″ aluminum cake pans. These things are beat to s#*t and havent sat flat in years but I reach for them every time I make a cake. Somehow it always comes out flawlessly..I suspect a little divine intervention is a play ;) (under your advisement I have even purchased some of the super cool Fat Daddio pans…still havent broken them in yet!)
I like you on Facebook : )
I shared your giveaway on my fb timeline! Thanks for this opportunity!!
I have liked you on Facebook! If there were a ‘love’ button, I would have ‘loved’ you! Thanks!
What awesome goodies!! I LOVE the necklace!! My current fave baking tool would have to be my cookie scoops. Simple, I know, but I love them and use them all the time- only sometimes for cookies though. ;)Now, maybe if I ever get a KitchenAid mixer….
My favorite baking tool is my KitchenAid Professional stand mixer. It makes my life so much easier.
Oh, I also “Like” you on Facebook! Twice actually, once on my personal page and once on my baking blog page. :)

It’s a tough call between my KitchenAid from my boyfriends mother or my black, white, and red polka dot apron from my boyfriend :) such a cute giveaway!

Parchment paper has been revolutionary for me – I absolutely love to bake, but hate to clean-up :)
Baking is my therapy, and my Kitchen Aid mixer makes whipping up cakes, cookies and frostings much more enjoyable! My favorite frosting is 7 Minute Frosting (or marshmallow frosting), so all I have to do is add the ingredients to the bowl, set the speed and the Kitchen Aid does all the work. Perfect, glossy and smooth every time :) Someday I will have to get the pasta making attachment.

Favorite tool in the kitchen… My kitchen aid stand mixer that we got for our wedding 18 years ago!
This is going to sound odd, but my favorite baking tool is a collection of old, ragged strips of tea towels that I wrap around cake pans to help the sides of the cake cook at the same rate as the center. They are singed, threadbare, and wrinkled, but I swear by them and have used them for years.
Tweeted!
My most recent favorite baking tool is a pancake pen that my sister got me, it makes filling a cupcake pan a breeze and fun shaped pancakes are one of my kids’ favorite treats on a weekend morning!
Favorite baking tool, my Kitchen Aid mixer. I’ve names in Jacques and have a stick on mustache for him.

My favourite and most used piece of baking equipment is my wooden spoon! I have so many happy memories of baking with my grandmother as a child, she would always let me lick the last bit of cake batter off the spoon after she was finished, and now I sometimes do this with my children.
I also shared the giveaway post on my Facebook.

While my best baking item/tool should be my Kitchen Aid mixer – it isn’t – It is my recipe collection that were hand written by my mother in law while she teaching me her love of baking. She passed away 5yrs ago and I hope to re-create her legacy with my daughter :) Love your recipes and your blog, Rosie!
my fave baking tool is my decorating pen, which makes it easy to decorate cookies and cakes. I also love my fat daddio’s pastry tip set.
Great Giveaway!! You are liked on FB daily ;-)

Nothing beats baking with my Red Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer. It makes me want to bake all day long.
I love my Kitchen-Aid stand mixer. When I got it I was afraid I wouldn’t use it enough but I surely due. It has made me a better baker. I also love my Lily Wallace Cookbook. My mother got it as a wedding gift so it’s over 50 years old. It a real “go to” for that basic recipe.
My stand mixer is my absolute favorite baking tool. I don’t know what I’d do without her.

Most definitely my Kitchen Aid mixer. There are so many things it does to make life so much easier for me. Thanks for the awesome giveaway, you ROCK!
My favorite baking tool happens to be my measuring cups! I have a ton of them because I have to measure everything and I do not want to have to stop and wash something in the middle of baking. “Mise en place” is essential in my kitchen!
My best-loved baking tool/item is my measuring sifter. It has saved me many times when I wonder…was that the 2nd cup or the 3rd

My favorite baking tool is the Cookie Press handed down to me from my Mother when I was first started out living on my own. I grew up baking cookies with her any opportunity we could get. I LOVE it, not only do I feel I have more precision with the cookie but it is a very special tool that makes me smile. I grew up learning to bake cookies with it and now my son watches me use it and I am creating beautiful baking memories with him! Especially at Christmas….it is Christmas when the cookie press is out!!!
Without a doubt my favorite baking tool is my KitchenAid Mixer. Makes baking anything a breeze!

My favorite kitchen tools are the ones that are inherited from family- a vintage bowl set with flowers, an old ice cream scoop, a marble rolling pin. I love that they’re vintage, have family meaning, and they often work better than some newer kitchen tool!
My best loved tool is the Kitchen-aid. It never lets me down.

My favorite baking tool is a rolling pin I inherited from my great-grandmother (who inherited it from her mother in Italy) although I only get to use it on holidays, and it works like crap, its my favorite because it reminds me of my roots! :) Also, my cakelet niece is another one of my favorites. She’s only three, I’ve been training that little bugger to bake since she was born!
My favorite baking tool is my icecream scoop! I have a mini one for cookies, and a bigger one for muffins/cupcakes. They always turn out the same size, and that is awesome!

I would have to say that my favorite baking tool is my Mother.. she is full of creative recipies and decorating ideas. Every sunday we bake and come up with some fantastic crazy cupcake ideas.

Rosie, this is a truly amazing collection of favourite things! My favourite baking tool is my stand mixer. It is not a Kitchen Aid (which I always, ALWAYS wanted), but it is a Hamilton Beach. The reason that I have a Hamilton Beach mixer, and not a Kitchen Aid, is that my incredibly practical husband wanted to surprise me with my very first mixer, and proceeded to go online and do his research. After much comparing and reading, he was convinced that the Hamilton Beach stand mixer was more bang for the buck. He then hid it in my baking cupboard, knowing that I would be beginning my Christmas baking, and would find it there as an early Christmas present. I have used my mixer EVERY week since getting it. I love it, but would not be against upgrading to a turquoise Kitchen Aid at any time. ;)
My KitchenAid mixer because now it makes homemade cakes as easy to make as mixes!

My all time favorite thing is my KitchenAid Mixer. I have had it for years, and it never fails. Proof that there are still a few well built things left in the world.
Whoa, this is actually amazing. Well, my favourite baking tool has to be my grandma’s rolling pin that got passed down to me. It’s so old but it still works great! Weighs a ton though! My mother always tells me stories about the food and desserts that my grandma used to make back in Sri Lanka, and even a story about how she used it to chase away a robber! Just lots of good memories and it never fails me. Totally priceless. :)

Wow! How generous!
Though it usually involves a colossal mess and a lot of extra time, my favorite baking ‘tools’ are the hands of my two little girls. Homegirls get giddy when we break out the butter and sugar.

I love my hand-mixer and Pyrex mixing bowls. I also love your creativity and artistry. Thanks for sharing it on your blog.
I could not live without my Kitchen Aid mixer. I don’t know how I could do all the baking I do without it. Thanks for have a great Website!
I have to say my favorite tool is my chocolate melter. I use it so much when I make candies and I also serve hot dips in it. It’s versatile and I love it so much, hasn’t failed me yet, and I’ve had it for about 10 years.

It’s my egg timer. I would be lost without it.
My favorite baking tools would be my KitchenAid Mixer (I don’t know how I’d survive without it, although I’m sure my arms would be a lot stronger!) and my Silpat liners.
I couldnt live without my Kitchen aid mixer. It has mixed hundreds of batches of buttercream for cupcakes and cakes. Oh, and I can’t forget to add sprinkles! LOTS AND LOTS of sprinkels.
My favorite baking tool is actually my hand mixer! Kitchen Aid stand mixers are great and I love mine, but I’ll always choose the hand mixer over it whenever possible! It gets right down to the bottom of the bowl ;)
I love my KA mixer! I don’t know how I have lived without it for so long lol.

My best baking tool has to be my kitchen aid mixer because it does A LOT of work! When your making some kind of dough you don’t have to need knead it with your hands for ten minutes you have your standing mixer! :)

My white pro kitchen aid mixer – a gift from my aunt after she realized she didn’t really like to cook or bake. Now they come in awesome colors, but since it was free I’ll continue to treasure mine 24+ years and counting.
LOVE LOVE LOVE your website, Rosie!! Just a glance at the colors make me happy. :-)
I have only been baking for a year, but I have gone cake-crazy! So many tools are essential, but my favorite “helpers” (wouldn’t want to call them tools) are my taste testers, aka my hubby and 2 girls. They are my bigger cheerleaders, but they also give honest feedback. They are the best! Can I pick another essential? My collection of cookbooks and my notebook. Have been studying them (work harder than at school) and taking lots of notes. Still learning! Hopefully to add to my favorite list very very soon – Costco has the KitchenAid stand mixer on sale – it’s on my Christmas list!

My KitchenAid stand mixer! My now husband surprised me with it just a week before he proposed to me. He succesfully distracted me from proposal related activity and also proved (once again) just how well he knows me! I feel like I can tackle most anything with my trusty (and beautiful) mixer!
My kitchen aid mixer is my best and most used kitchen tool – I use it even when I don’t have to just because I like it so much!!!
I shared this giveaway on my Facebook.
I love my new rolling pin! I need to make more pie now.
I love my one piece set of measuring spoons! It’s sounds kind of weird but it has four different measuring spoons on one piece and it designed in the shape of a cross so none of the four spoons ever touch the others. It’s quick, convenient and keeps it all neat without having to mess around with them clanking against one another! I tell everyone about how great they are!

My best loved baking tool has got to be my Kitchen Aid stand mixer! I would be absolutely lost without it.

Without it I wouldn’t be able to make half the recipes I find here (: and I wouldn’t have a college essay!!

I have to agree with lots of commenters about the love I have for my KitchenAid stand mixer, but my absolute favorite baking tool is my big red mixing bowl that I picked up for a super bargain at HomeGoods.

Hello Rosie,I love your recipes and website and frequent it for ideas and inspiration often. My best loved item that I can not bake with out comes with a history:)
I inherited my late and beloved grandmother’s five cup handle crank flour sifter. This sifted belonged to her mother’s mother. I come from a long line of household bakers and cooks and this very old and very wise crank sifter is my partner in the kitchen. Every time I use it, my savory and sweets come out to perfection. I really do believe I would be lost with out it. Every time I use it I feel like my past generations are guiding me through a recipe. That to me pospers me and warms my heart.Especially, when I hear my grandmother’s guidance ring through. Thanks for reading, Chele.
This may sound silly,but I like my spoonulas. It is can scrape, stir and transfer. Great to use with melting chocolate, it can take the heat.

My favorite baking tool could easily be my iPad since I use it in the kitchen to view your recipes. My favorite tool out of my baking box would be my fancy little tapis ( French for sifter). A rubber spatula is a humble and trusty kitchen tool also.
Thanks again for being such an inspiration. Your giveaway is way better than any of Oprah’s favorite things :).
My favourite kitchen tool is the rack used for cooling down the cakes. Its really good because I never have to wash it because the cakes never last long enough to make it there! hahhaha nom nom! :D
My best loved cooking tool is one that I no longer have, though at the time I never thought I would miss it. It was a small blue teacup that I used as my measuring cup during a year-long college exchange in Germany. Finding only metric measurers in stores, I turned to the origin of the measurement “cup” and raided our cabinets. This small teacup was what I thought was closest in volume to a standard American cup. Was I right? I have no clue, but that cup did allow me to introduce my new international friends to my favorite american treats like banana bread, pancakes, and even cakes and pies.
Wow, the cutest stuff ever!!! My most loved baking items are not pretty but it’s my 11 x 17 jellroll pans!!
So sad this isn’t open internationally :( I LOVE all of these things!! I must go purchase them myself ;)
My best-loved baking item is a set of old measuring spoons handed down from my mom! I have a new set and I would rather wash these ones in the middle of baking than use the new ones.

Hi Sweetapolita!
I love your blog and I also love my mixer. Its not a KitchenAid (though I would love to have one!) or a Kenwood but when I first got into the baking craze I remember bringing the mixer home for the first time and opening it! Unpacking the wire whisk and the beaters and the splash guard (though I had no idea what is was) and reading the manual. I was so happy and so excited for the baking adventures that would follow. I have made many recipes from you blog and all turned out perfect.
Joanna
My rubber spatula! I use it for almost everything and love it!
I think my fav would have to be my pastry cutter – it has delivered lots of love through great pie crusts. :)
It might have to be a spatula. I love my mixer and other fancy tools, but before I had that, I had a nice spoonula spatula from my parents that I still love. It has helped make many a good batter!

Loved?
My mom’s Pyrex/Fire King measuring cups from when mom taught me to bake with when I was little and still use today. Also my aunt’s handed-down jadeite mixing bowl with handle/spout. All come from and add love to everything I bake. Lastly, my vintage rubbermaid spoonula. It’s a pre-heat resistance model so it’s good and bendy. Don’t know what I’ll do when it dies. Sorry, couldn’t pick just one!
My favorite baking items are my jadeite nesting mixing bowls. When the biggest one fell off my counter and shattered, I cried!
I like you. :)
What’s your best-loved baking tool/item?
That’s a tough one! I bake mainly muffins/cupcakes, and I love my silicon moulds. I have different shapes, and have just purchased Christmas tree, star and gingerbread man shapes for the holiday season! Can’t wait to try them. My children love cookie cutters as I have so many and they get to choose what they want.
I would have to say, my whisk…
Mine is the one that came with my hand mixer, so it doesn’t actually have a handle, just a metal stick (so it can be pushed up into the body of the mixer)…
It’s perfect though…just the right size. I use it all the time.
I love good stirring spoons. thanks!
It’s gotta be a three-way tie between my stand mixer, my Silpat mats, and my 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop. (My OCD side loves taking a tray of perfectly round and equal-sized cookies out of the oven!)
I also just liked your Facebook page!
My most loved tool? Definitely the kitchenaid mixer.
great giveaway, rosie! i would be lost without my pastry cutter. :)
Just posted giveaway on Facebook.
My favourite baking tool is my spoonula. So handy for baking and it never wears out.
My best loved baking tool strangely is Pintrest. I love trying new recipes and I get so many great ideas from Pintrest, my family thinks I’m so much better at baking than I am because of it!

My favorite baking tool is my Microplane zester for adding great flavors to everything I bake – zesting lemons, limes, nutmeg. . . . . . .
Its tough to decide between my digital scale and my silpats. I’ve had the silpats longer so maybe I would go with them. But IDK… there is always parchment paper!

My true best loved baking tool is a sentimental one- a yellow glazed ceramic bowl that belonged to my Grammy. She was my biggest fan and #1 taste tester, and when I use her bowl, I feel like she is back in the kitchen with me. That aside, I’m very attached to my kitchen aid stand mixer as well as my kitchen scale, which absolutely changed my baking forever! Love it!
Thank you for sharing a collection of your favorites, Rosie- just getting a peak makes me feel like a winner… imagine how happy I’d be if these items were actually my holiday presents this season! A girl can dream :)

I just stumbled on your Facebook page, which I liked, you have some great things here and I’m excited to try them!
In all honestly I love so many of my baking items and find them all indisposable, but I feel like I became a real baker when I started piping my cupcakes with those huge cupcake tips. They made the most beautiful end result which boosted my confidence to try more things.
I love my vintage apron! I am sort of an apronaholic ;) they just make me feel so fancy!
My favorite baking tool is my mixer!
Hands down-Kitchenaid mixer
My favorite baking tool is my rolling pin. It was my grandmother’s and I’m sure that’s why everything turns out so delicious.
I just liked you on Facebook.

Lately, I cannot live without my half-sheet sized parchment paper! It’s so convenient, no trying to rip or cut it to the right size. I use it for everything!
My favourite baking tool is my Kitchenaid mixer. Or maybe my matryoshka measuring cups and spoons.

My favorite baking tool is my offset spatula – it has so many uses!
I shared on Facebook! :)
my favorite tool is my kitchen aid, I would never make anything if I didn’t have it.
My rubber spatula. I don’t know how I lived before it. I have a favorite red one with a clear handle. I use it for baking anything and everything, and even use it while cooking.
My whisk is my fave!
My Kitchen Aid mixer. I don’t know how I baked anything before I got it.
I love my kitchenaid mixer!
It’s gotta be my KitchenAid mixer, but a close second is all my spatulas. I have way more than necessary.
I’ve ‘liked’ Sweetapolita on FB!
I’ve also shared the FB post on my timeline :)
My big red mixing bowl. It always makes me feel like I’m making something special and fun.
I love my Kitchen Aid stand mixer!!
I love my Silpat’s!!
I guess the obvious answer is my KitchenAid Mixer…but I also really love fancy cupcake papers! I pick up packages of interesting/beautiful/quirky and holiday themed cupcake papers whenever I see them.
My crock pot! With being a full time student and taking care of our house hold making a hot dinner every night is almost impossible due to late classes. So a couple of times a week I break out the crock pot for a tasty supper. I have also figured our how to roast chickens and make bread in it!
Hi Rosie, My favorite tool would have to be my Kitchenaid. It was given to me as a wedding gift almost 15 years ago and it’s still going strong. Making all of your fabulous recipes would not have been possible without it!
I love my stainless steel mixing bowl-its not fancy but I’ve had it forever.
