KitchenAid 3.3-litre mini mixer

Looking to blow the budget on an extra special present? KitchenAid stand mixers are iconic, and this slightly smaller edition of the traditional mixer was highly-rated when tested alongside the best stand mixers on the market.

Mon Amie cake stand

This blue white porcelain cake stand by Rörstrand is part of the Marianne Westman Mon Amie collection and would make for a summery centrepiece for any table and celebration. The wide base also makes it stable which is useful for enthusiastic cake slicing.

This full bib apron is made from heavy cotton and can be personalised with a name or caption. The same goes for the optional bag of baking utensils. All are customisable so just choose your font and away you go.

Knabstrup proving saucer

You can’t help but gaze into the glazed blue coating of this proving saucer. It’s a heavy-duty ceramic bowl, perfect for leaving dough to rise in. And when not filled with dough, store it on show. It would make an excellent fruit bowl.

Available from Nordic Nest (£35)

Marian cake knife

It’s rare to find a cake slice that’s as vibrant or deliciously decorated as the cake it’s slicing, but this ceramic slice featuring intricate floral decorations can boast just that. It’s also dishwasher and microwave safe.
