THE BASICS
Make sure your fridge is stocked with perishables like butter (salted & unsalted), milk, heavy whipping cream, and eggs. You’ll also want your pantry full of baking supplies listed below!
- Canned Pumpkin
- Cherry Pie Filling & Apple Pie Filling
- Baking Cocoa
- Brown Sugars
- Granulated Sugar & Powdered (Confectioners) Sugar
- Baking Powder & Baking Soda
- Salt
- All-Purpose Flour
- Pecans, Walnuts & Almonds
PRO TIP: Light and dark brown sugar differ in molasses content – dark has more, giving baked goods a richer, chewier texture (perfect for gingerbread). Light brown sugar adds a mild caramel flavor and softer texture. Use a brown sugar saver to keep it fresh and clump-free.
