If you're one of the many people who just found out how versatile their kitchen is or simply want to perfect your baking game, there's nothing like getting a little help from a baking subscription box. Meal subscription boxes have been all the rage for some time now and have genuinely improved the quality of life for many people who don't have time to cook, don't have the time for grocery shopping or meal planning, or simply don't know where to start. Baking subscription boxes offer much of the same but with a sweet treat to look forward to at the end, and plenty of new skills acquired for burgeoning home bakers.
It can also be a great way to save money and experience international baked goods, as many of the subscription boxes offer desserts and treats that aren't commonly found in every country. Get your whisks ready because these are worth it.
Whisk Takers
A great budget-friendly option is Whisk Takers. This box is the perfect way to dip your toe - or wooden spoon - into the world of baking without biting off more than you can chew. The box itself starts at $20 per month (which is often less than or equal to the cost for ingredients spent on one extravagant dessert) and has plenty of options, from three and six-month subscriptions to a single box for those just looking to try it out.
The customizable box options also offer six themes to choose from, including vegan and gluten-free boxes. The recipes included are wholesome and fun, featuring many comfort favorites as well as reimagined treats with surprise ingredients.
Bake Eat Love
For an easy start and no need to measure exact ingredients (which, let's be honest, is one of the bummers of baking) and anywhere from one dozen to two dozen servings per month, this baking box starts at $37.99.
Included is an additional item for the kitchen which is a nice perk, along with recipes that are emailed rather than printed, so it's rather eco-friendly, as well. If that wasn't enough, a helpful, instructional video is also sent along digitally to help provide a visual.
LG Tasty Cookie Club
This fun box is a collaboration effort between Tasty, LG, and Foodstirs to create one of the best cookie subscription boxes around. The LG Tasty Cookie Club includes every non-perishable ingredient needed to create one of a kind cookies every month, with each creation having been thoroughly tested, procured, and perfected by the experts.
The ingredients are also organic and all-natural and are also pre-measured to cut down on time and any potential mistakes. Along with the ingredients, this subscription box also includes a special tool that subscribers can keep for their personal collection.
Whisk & Flour
Baking subscription boxes aren't just for those who are new to the world of baking. Whisk & Flour proves that there's always more to be learned on the sweet side of culinary arts and provides recipes that are still simple, yet elevated and usually involve a fun twist of some kind.
Their recipes are curated with artisanal ingredients, international influences, and include a brief description of each recipe along with the recipe card. The environmentally-friendly packaging, occasional cooking tool, and seasonal dishes (ie gingerbread for Christmas) are all perks of this $28 per month subscription box.
Breadista
Bread can be a daunting project to tackle - but not with Breadista. This subscription box was created in German by bakers who love and devote their time to the art of breadmaking. According to Breadista's website, the bakers moved to the US and when they couldn't find bread similar to that which they loved in Germany, they created their own box so that others could fall in love with it, too.
Subscribers will find traditional recipes for anything from buns to pretzels, along with authentic ingredients and special spreads that come in each box to enjoy along with your freshly-baked goods. These boxes are available for $42 per month and are worth the price as they come with all non-perishable ingredients, and with every box purchased, a meal is donated to Feeding America.
Red Velvet NYC
The subscription boxes from Red Velvet NYC contain ingredients to make two luscious desserts and the best part is they include all ingredients, with the only exception being eggs. These delicious desserts are all inspired by New York City's culture and lifestyle, bringing with them a flair and decadence that's not often found in subscription boxes.
Each box will run roughly $50 but when broken down, that's $25 for two decadent desserts, complete with detailed recipes, dessert descriptions, and the skill level for each.
