Who can resist scrumptious foods such as cookies, cakes, cupcakes and pies? You may not have a craving for all of them, but surely you can indulge in a small binge or two once in a while. So, do you frequent your favorite local bakery or are you one to bake on your own? If you choose the latter, you need a supply of staple items ready at any given time.The staple listIf you want to indulge in a random sweet-tooth you need a list of items readily available for the undertaking. Your basic staples include flour (bleached and unbleached), sugar (granulated, powder and raw), nectar, baking powder and vanilla. Most kitchens already house these items. If you do not have these staples, you might as well stock up your supply as they serve several other cooking functions.Remember to always check the expiration date on your products. Some staples hang around for too long since you use them seldomly. The dairy listYour dairy list mostly includes regular cow's milk, soy milk, butter (salted and unsalted), heavy whipping cream and half-and-half cream. Many of these items mix well with regular breakfast dishes also, so you may have most of these also.HardwareYou cannot forget your hardware. You need a large mixing bowl, a sturdy mixing spoon, a rubber spatula, a mixer or KitchenAid, measuring spoons and cups, a sifter, some oven mitts and an oven. Also, stock up on your actual bakeware, including baking sheets, cupcake pans, bread-loaf pans, pie pans, cake pans and a roll of parchment paper.LastlySome baking supplies may not already linger around your house. Items such as cream of tartar, baking soda, various extracts (not vanilla since you probably have that already), shortening and maybe some nutmeg. Remember, you can purchase any item you need to satisfy your sweet-tooth from your local grocery market.
