 Bargain recipe stand Trying to prop up a recipe book on the right page without it flipping shut whilst you measure out ingredients and cook, trying not to spill anything on your book in the process, can often be a recipe for disaster.
But having a stand on which you can pop your recipe book, and ensure it’s well balanced and stays on the right page where you need it, is a better idea.
This chrome recipe holder will do all the work for you, securely keeping the page you want open whilst you get down to the important business of baking, making and cooking.
The recipe stand was £19.95, but is now reduced to just £13.97 in the Graham and Green outlet.

 Nautical style cake stand We love a good cake stand and, for serving afternoon tea in style with plates stacked high with delicious goodies, you can’t beat a three tier stand.
The square plate design of this ceramic cake stand makes a change from the round versions and the blue and white stripes provide a jaunty, nautical appeal.
The Southsea stripe cake stand is reduced to £25.20 at Laura Ashley.

There’s still time to catch a bargain buy at Habitat, where the sale ends on Sunday.
Amongst the bargains we spotted is this Aven ceramic flan dish, measuring 27cm in diameter.
The fluted edge dish is decorated inside with an apple and pear and around the outside of the dish is a jaunty blue ribbon-like pattern.
The Aven white ceramic flan dish was £15, but is now only £8.40 in the sale at Habitat.
Other good buys include a lidded wok with 7 piece accessory set for £16.80, a 12 cup rumbaba silicone cupcake tray for £1.92 and the Cleo black wood CD storage unit for £83.20.

I first came across Scarlet Bakes at a local Farmers Market, where it was hard to resist the delicious cookies they had available. As well as selling homemade cookies, they also produce a great range of cookie mixes.
The homemade cookie mixes are layered up attractively in glass kilner jars (which you can re-use) and come with an easy-to-follow recipe. All you need to do is add butter and eggs and, bingo, you’ve got cookies ready to bake!
The ingredients for the cookies are high quality, without artificial colours or flavours, and they use local organic flour, British oats and fairtrade vanilla. In most cases, they also sell gluten free versions too, which is a really nice touch.
The cookie mixes make a lovely gift, especially for anyone who’s a fan of baking. They’re available in a great choice of flavours, including rainbow cookie mix, triple chocolate chip cookie mix and the super yummy white chocolate and cranberry cookie mix.
The Scarlet Bakes cookie mixes are £12 each and each 500ml kilner jar of ingredients makes between 18 and 20 cookies, which seems good value for money.

 Make whoopie pies One of the latest baking crazes to hit the UK is that of the whoopie pie. Not nearly so elegant as the cupcake, the whoopie pie is a mini American-style sponge cake that is sandwiched together with a buttercream filling and often iced or decorated with frosting on top too.
If you’re keen to unleash your baking abilities and have a go at making your own whoopie pies, then here’s a tin that will make your job much easier. The whoopie pie cake tin is the perfect size to make a whoopie pie – it conducts heat evenly, so your cakes will remain light and moist and won’t dry out – and it has room to make 12 whoopie pies in one bake off.
The whoopie pie cake tin is £7.99 from De Cuisine and they provide a recipe too, to help you get straight into cooking. For more whoopie pie cooking ideas and inspiration, you may like to check out the Whoopie Pies book.

 Set of 0 to 9 bicusit cutters If you enjoy baking and like the idea of making shaped numerical biscuits or celebratory cakes with numbers, then this set of cookie cutters will get you set up with all the numbers you’ll ever need.
The set of 10 cutters comes complete with a full set of numbers from 0 to 9. Although described as cookie cutters, they work just as well with icing, which makes them ideal for use with decorating birthday or anniversary cakes with appropriate numbers.
The set of number cookie cutters is available from Cox and Cox. It was £20, but is now reduced down to the very affordable price of £8 for the set.

 Bake heart shaped muffins There are a lot of heart-shaped novelty homeware items on the market, but this is at least one of the more practical ones.
If you love baking, then why not buy this to bake your loved one some heart-shaped muffins?
The tin is made from super flexible silicone, which makes it easy to store (you can bend it and squeeze it in smaller spaces, compared to traditional metal tins) and easy to use, as you don’t need to grease it.
This six cup silicone heart shaped muffin tin is £9.99 on Amazon.

 Make your own cookies Keeping warm indoors is the ideal solution to this cold, snowy weather and there’s nothing like a spot of baking to warm up the kitchen.
We love the idea of these giant snowflake cookie cutters – not least the fact that you can create lovely stained glass effects with them, with the simple addition of some boiled sweets.
The intricately designed cutters measure 19cm in diameter, so you’ll end up with a good sized cookie at the end of it.
The snowflake cookie cutters are in the sale at Cox and Cox, for £9.10.
