Baking pan, Oven, Stop watch, Bowl, Measuring cups/spoons, Tea/Table spoon, Spatula/cooking spoon/whisker.

For liquid part of your baking e.g. milk, make sure you use a transparent measuring cup to allow you measure the exact specified amount in your recipe.

Being keen to specified quantities is key in making sure you succeed in baking.

 

3.       Preparation

Before you begin baking make sure that all the ingredients and tools specified in the recipe are present in one place this is to avoid movements and confusion when following the recipe.
