Are you thinking about opening up a bakery, but aren’t sure what tools you need to get started? Or, maybe you already own a bakery and feel like your inventory is missing something. To help your bakery succeed, we’ve come up with a list of essential tools that every bakery should have on hand.
1. Baking supplies
Whether your bakery specializes in cookies, cakes, pies, or pastries, it’s important to have a wide range of commercial baking supplies in your kitchen. Essential baking supplies that you may find useful include:
- Commercial baking pans: From cookie sheets to cake pans, every bakery should have a variety of commercial baking pans.
- Baking tools and accessories: Baking tools such as spatulas, scrapers, and mixing bowls are essential for any baked goods.
- Measuring tools: Baking requires precise measurements, so measuring cups and spoons should always be in close reach.
- Specialty supplies: Don’t forget to stock up on specialty baking supplies such as baking molds, pastry supplies, and pie supplies.

2. Commercial mixer
If you’re looking into buying your first mixer or are ready for an upgrade, investing in a commercial countertop mixer is the way to go. Although these mixers are on the expensive side, the price is worth it in the long run. You’ll be surprised by how a simple upgrade can boost the efficiency of your bakery.
Don’t forget to order any mixer attachments that you may need such as a dough hook, flat beater, or balloon whisk.
3. Bakery display cases
Did you know that how you display your baked goods can help boost profits? Having an attractive display is especially important if your storefront has a lot of foot traffic. Here are some simple tips for displaying your baked delicacies:
- Choose a display case that works well in your available space.
- Invest in good lighting, so your baked goods are the center of attention.
- Fill up your display cases throughout the day to avoid empty space.
- At the end of each day, make it a priority to clean your display cases.
