You can’t bake a cake without breaking a few eggs, or so the saying goes. If these Kikkerland Robot Measuring Cups are involved hopefully that’s all that breaks. Consisting of four measuring cups–1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and 1 full cup–the robot may look like it disassembles into a friendly kitchen helper, but it might be best to keep a box of cake mix on hand just in case.

Discreetly etched with markings delineating the 4-ounce, 6-ounce and 8-ounce levels, Wine-Trax, the measuring wine glass, would certainly help some keep track of how much wine they (or their significant others) were drinking.

I would say this cupcake thing has gotten far out of control, but I doubt many would agree with me; there is no denying that cupcakes are portable and delicious.

In any event, the set of four overly-cute cupcake-themed prep tools can be used for whatever you decide to bake. Probably.

Plus, at a price of less than twenty dollars they might be the least expensive way to add some bling to your kitchen.

It usually isn’t a good idea to try to force kitchen gadgets to change their shape. However, when it comes to these Chef’n SleekStor Pinch Pour Prep Bowls that is exactly what you are supposed to do. The set of four nesting prep bowls come in five different styles—Hot Cocoa And Buttercream, Arugala, Cherry, Trend and Tonal (pictured)—and form convenient pour spouts when pinched. The insides are marked with gradations for measuring liquid ingredients, making this prep bowl set a great versatile addition to any kitchen.
