Painters always sign their canvases, so why shouldn’t bakers—proud of their tasty treats—not sign their work as well? But since pens don’t work on dough, and Sharpies are probably an even worse idea, Etsy seller Zuzia Zuber will create a custom rolling pin for you, embossed with a repeating pattern of "made by (your name here)."

Boudin’s sourdough bread’s unique tangy taste and chewy center has been a hit with San Francisco residents since the bakery first opened in 1849. A big part of brand’s success has been due to its unyielding consistency—a feat only accomplished because the company is still using the same yeast culture that Isidore Boudin collected 160 years ago.

Here’s the thing about chocolate chip cookies: they’re delicious. Here’s another thing: unless you’re a professional baker maestro who bakes a batch everyday and tweaks their cookie recipe after every time to adjust the flavor, it’s going to be hard to come up with the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe. It’s a numbers game, you just don’t bake enough to figure out exactly what works. Not anymore. Not with this machine. This is perfection.

Shove a tray of dough into the oven and something magical happens: that raw mixture of ingredients is transformed into a delightful circle of deliciousness, a cookie. If you’ve ever wondered exactly what science was behind baking, though, this video explains.

Personally, I find baking cakes infinitely harder than cooking savories because you can’t really cheat when it comes to the former. By “cheat,” I mean correct mistakes you made along the way. For example, when you’re cooking and you find it’s too bland, then you can just add salt and pepper to taste. You can’t do the same when it comes to baking, because once that tray is in the oven, then all you can do is wait.
Another thing is that you won’t know how your cake will turn out until it’s served, because you can’t exactly cut out a piece to try it before anyone else can get a slice of their own. This is where Nibble Pan offers you a bit of help.
While it won’t let you “fix” bad batches of baked stuff, it will let you know if you whipped up an “off” cake by letting you try it before anyone else does – or let you sneak a bite instead of impatiently digging into the main cake. The Nibble Pan comes with an extra slot on the side, where you can pour a bit of your extra batter to make a cupcake version of your cake. How’s that for baking innovation?
Keep in mind that the smaller baked goodie will probably cook quicker than the main section of the pan, so you’ll want to snag your personal snack-size cake early.
The Nibble Pan retails for about $21.99(USD) over at Quirky.

The cookies look like they’re difficult to make, but they’re really not.
One Charming Party shares how you can make your own Watercolor Cookies on their blog. All you’ll need is a rectangular cookie cutter, some marshmallow fondant, and a whole lot of food coloring and you’re ready to start making your own edible, cookie masterpieces.
You can check out the recipe here.
