"I have both the small and large basting/pastry brushes, and I love them."
"Works well so far."
"No issue with washing it in the dishwasher as other reviewers mentioned."
"I love that it's silicone which is much easier to clean than the synthetic brushes."
"This baking/pastry brush does a good job of distributing sauce on meat, etc."
"Would like it to be a bit more substantial but eventually it gets the job done."

"Based on other reviews and the amount of cupcakes it can hold, I can't wait to show it off to my guests."

"This is great for displaying fancy little pastries."
"I did put the tier tray together and was very impressed on the stability and quality."
"Absolutely loved the simplicity of the cake stand!"
"It can be used for other items as well, and the fact that it's clear allows it to match most decorations."
"The cupcake stand is physically beautiful, however, it arrived without the rubber feet, which makes the cupcake stand a little unstable."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Really like the banneton and how it gently dries the dough just a bit on the outside when proofing (helps hold the shape it seems). For the first use I wiped the inside of the banneton with a damp cloth then lightly sprayed the banneton with water and dusted with 1/2 rice flour and 1/2 AP flour. I heavily dusted the banneton with this same flour mix prior to first loaf proof."
"The proofing basket is exactly as described...and the loaf of bread came out great!"
"Just the right design for a 500-gram loaf."
"Works great!"
"Being new at bread baking, I purchased this item based on reviews read on Amazon."
"Exactly as advertised!"

"Perfect set and value!"
"I am a messy baker and this really helped met to keep the cupcakes looking clean and classy."
"I might buy disposable bags though, these are nice but kind of awkward to clean."
"I had never used a piping bag before but it was pretty easy to figure out how to use this (despite the fact that there were no instructions)."
"Awesome designs."
"I find that if you place your icing/filling on a piece of plastic wrap and fold the ends together (tootsie roll) cut one end and place it into the silicone sleeve, then press into icing tip you'll waste less product."
"Anyway, it’s an avoidable conundrum if the composer would just put a little piece of paper in the packaging with some “how to use” illustrations...all I’m saying."
