  • Springform Pan with Removable Bottom - Ideal for easy removal of the delicate, flaky pastry after baking and filling preparation.

  • Digital Food Scale - Precision in measuring ingredients is crucial for perfect pastries; this tool ensures accuracy every time.

  • Silicone Spatula Set (including a scraper) - Vital for mixing, folding, and transferring filling without damaging delicate pastry layers.

  • Piping Bag with Star Tips - Perfect for creating the classic Bakewell tart pattern on top; can also be used for frosting or decorating the tart.
