BEFORE YOU CHOOSE A BAKING BUNDLE
Questions to ask before choosing a baking bundle
Whether you're comparing skill levels or looking at other DIY baking kits, these answers will help you choose the bundle that's right for you.
Each bundle includes 3 complete baking kits with pre-measured dry ingredients, printed recipe cards, and video lesson access. The Mastery Bundle includes all 9 kits across all three skill levels.
Yes — individual DIY baking kits are available separately if you'd rather try one bake before committing to a bundle. Bundles are the better value if you're building skills progressively across a full level.
Beginner kits focus on core technique — measuring, mixing, basic shaping — while Intermediate and Advanced kits introduce piping, laminating, and precision decorating. All levels are built for adults; kids can bake Beginner kits with light supervision.
Most kits use common kitchen tools you likely already have. Any specialty tool is listed on the product page, and some are included directly in the kit when needed.
A bundle is a one-time purchase with a defined 3-bake progression and clear skill levels. A subscription is ongoing, with a new surprise bake shipped monthly. Bundles suit someone who wants a fixed starting point; a subscription suits someone who wants continuous variety.
The Beginner Bundle is built as a baking starter kit for first-timers — three approachable kits (tart, madeleines, roulade) that teach foundational technique with no prior experience needed.
Currently shipping is limited to the contiguous United States. Join the email list for updates if that expands.
Roughly 1 hour for Beginner kits, 1-2 hours for Intermediate, and 2-3 hours for Advanced — plan accordingly if you're doing one per weekend.
Yes, dry ingredients are pre-measured and packaged to stay fresh through shipping and normal at-home storage until you're ready to bake.
Yes — the Intermediate and Advanced bundles are built for people who already have basics down and want to learn lamination, tempering, and precision decorating, not just repeat what they already know.
All nine kits, all three levels, in one delivery. Saves $45 against buying the three levels separately.
Paula's Picks are three seasonal bakes in one box, on sale while the season lasts. Learn to Bake is three bakes chosen to build one skill, available year round. Both ship in a single delivery.
