Grace: If there is one thing I love to do, it’s bake.  I’m not an expert, but it’s fun to play around in the kitchen and experiment a little with my friends.  However, I get really bored of making the usual chocolate chip cookies, cake-from-a-box, etc.  I would like to be able to bake something more interesting, but I don’t have the time or expertise to try something like that.

I found these cute bug cake pans on the William Sonoma website the other day, and these would make a great gift for anyone.  Instead of just baking a plain, round cake, now you can bake one in a fun shape and just go to town decorating it.  I’ve given and received countless recipe books from my friends because we all enjoy baking (and eating), but in the end, we bake the same things over and over again.  At least with this gift we can continue to bake our usual things but this time in a fun shape.  I, personally, would rather receive baking paraphanelia than baking books, although I did find this book to be a great complimentary gift.  Plus, with this gift there is a good chance you could receive a delicious cake as a thank you gift in return!

Dan: I have absolutely nothing against baking!  I cannot cook or bake if my life depended on it but I can eat baked goods with great speed and skill.  I am sure that if I loved to bake these would make a great gift for me, instead I will just recognize that this is a great gift recommendation.  My family and friends love to bake and they would truly appreciate a gift like this.  Thanks for the gift recommendation Grace!
