9 or 10 inch tube pan
½ sheet pan (about 17 ½ by 12 ½ or 18 x 13)(I don’t have a recommendation here except don’t spend a lot of money on this. I use a $6 pan from a local restaurant supply store)

Microwave safe bowl
Liquid measuring cup
Small sauce pan

Piping bags and large decorating tips (For example, Wilton 1M, 2A, etc. I personally like the Ateco brand, but Wilton is a good option as well)
