Every baker knows to turn to Wilton for the best in cookie and cake bakeware, baking tools, and decorating ingredients. Whether for general baking or holiday-specific, you’ll find everything you need.

But you don’t have to be a baker to treat yourself or give these cute Easter tools as gifts.

They fit right into an Easter basket for kids who are cooking inclined.

They’re fun for adults.

They provide some Easter “décor” to one’s kitchen.

You can give them as hostess gifts. We tied the spatula to a bottle of wine with an Easter ribbon.

Both are inexpensive (around $5).

Find these fun kitchen tools at Target and online at Wilton.com.

Give one, give both:

Wilton Plastic Easter Egg Spatula (photo #2) is great for flipping foods in a pan or transferring cookies or snacks from the baking sheet to a cooling grid. Get it at Target.

Wilton Carrot-Shaped Easter Metal Whisk (photo #1) is ready to whip up eggs, pancakes, cake batter, or whipped cream. Buy it from Wilton.

And while you’re at it, check out Wilton’s Easter Shop.

Even if you don’t bake, the Easter sprinkles and other decorations turn store-bought cakes and cupcakes into your own holiday creations.

We’re up to our elbows in Easter candy this week. But what has really caught our eye is the Fudglette fudge gift box (photo #2) from The Hawaii Fudge Company. These mini bites, about 1/2-inch square (photo #1), are a tiny treat to enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea, or just a teeny sugar fix.

Unlike a regular box of fudge, you can’t overeat! And they’re boxed for gift-giving, ready to pop into a gift bag or a Christmas stocking.

Check out the flavors below. We’ve asterisked* our favorites in case you want suggestions for buying full-size boxes of fudge.

June 16th is National Fudge Day.

MAKE YOUR OWN WITH THESE FUDGE RECIPES

A non-sandwich BLT? April is National BLT month, celebrating one of America’s favorite sandwiches. It descended from the club sandwich served in London men’s clubs.

Here’s the history of the BLT.

In recent times, people have enjoyed adding a slice of avocado to their BLTs. Hence, the BLAT was born (bacon, lettuce, avocado, tomato).

Then came the BLAST, with avocado and smoked salmon.

What’s next?

How about a BLTS&T: a BLT Surf & Turf. We’d like some lobster on our BLT—and extra mayo, please.

But you don’t have to make a sandwich to enjoy a BLT.

Just check out the recipes below for non-sandwich BLT recipes.

Plus, of course, we conclude with ways to vary a BLT sandwich so you can have a different one every day of the year.

By the way, while April is National BLT Sandwich Month, July 22nd is National BLT Day.

That’s two days of the year to cook up these recipes!
