That's not necessarily related to cake. For me, I couldn't live without my ziploc bags...gallon size, 2 gallon size, and sandwich size. Also I love my Hamilton Beach toastation which is a combination toaster oven and toaster.

Paper towels!!!!! Oh my gosh, I don't know what I would do without them!! I don't like to use dishtowels to clean up, wipe up or dry my hands with.... tapedshut.gif Germs... With paper towels, I can throw it away and get a new one! (my DH husband calls me a freak because I am weird about some things... not me.... icon_confused.gificon_confused.gificon_confused.gif )

someone else to clean it (sorry, I'm just dreaming now!) It would have to be either paper towels, disinfecting wipes or my freezer ziplock bags (I have a big issue with having to clean---especially the kitchen, it will never be clean enough, have to go scrub now!)

My list could be long... You guys already named a few of my favorite things,
But I should say: my 14 inches skillet!!! I have a big family (5 people) and I always got to eat last. Last christmas my mom bought me this skillet and now we all eat at the same time!!!! Can't live without it now!!!

I love paper towels too! I think it stems from the fact that when I was growing up my mom always yelled at me for "wasting" paper towels. So now that I'm grown I use as many as I want!

King Arthur had Excalibur...I have my Spatula of Death.
My "Spatula of Death"...works on cakes, kids and the wife. One mighty fell swoop and the offending cake that refuses to cooperate is cleaved in two...to hack off the small hands and fingers that close in on icing...to catapult icing with alarming accuracy and speed at the forhead of those who invade my workspace...for those that fail to heed my warnings...so too they shall suffer the mighty wrath of the "Spatula of Death".

During Halloween I temporarily rename it "Count Spatula."

I agree I couldnt live without my dishwasher but I LOVE my microwave. My microwave gets used more than anything else in my kitchen. I also love paper towels cause I am also a germ freak and always need a new one. I also LOVE my Clorox disinfecting wipes cause I hate germs and I get kind of crazy when the chicken comes out.

I wish I had a dishwasher (other than myself), because it would definitely be my favorite!!

I am the same way about chicken!!!! I will wash my hands, and everything else, a hundred times when messing with chicken!! icon_confused.gificon_confused.gificon_confused.gif

Dale, I hereby dub you Knight of the Round Table. Set forth and rescue all ungarded cakes in the kindom.

I can not exist in my kitchen without my side by side, ice cube and water dispenser in the door refrigerator/freezer. I have to have someplace to hide all the goodies. My second favorite is my automatic hot water dispenser next to my stove. Use it every time I cook. (okay, that might be two or three times a week). Don't get me wrong, I love to cook, DH works late jobs (artist work) and we are empty nesters.

You guys can have my dishwasher, if I want the dishes clean I have to wash them all the way first and then put them in. My MIL keeps telling me "while you have to rinse them right away." We've tried everything and the way my husband puts it there isn't much point in washing the dishes just to put them in the dishwasher.

I can't live without my big stainless dutch oven, it's just the right size to make homemade soup, roast a chicken or any number of other things.

As much as I LOVE and USE my KA, I still throw a fit if someone steals my whisks. I mix cakes by hand unless it is multiple batches. Also, the $3 set of mixing bowls with all the different sizes.

I use the disposable clear Glad containers for frosting. 1/2 cup is the right size for a lot of things, and no worries about them staining or searching for the colors.

I just pulled out my electric fondue pot, and it has the perfect settings for melting chocolate. That will come in handy for dipping cake balls for the holidays!
