Birdy & Pretzels Crate Co.
A year of skill-building baking crates with tools, recipes and video lessons
The Baker's Crate from Birdy & Pretzels Crate Co. is a year-long baking course delivered one crate at a time. Each month focuses on a single skill or technique, and each crate is designed to build on the last, so over twelve months a home baker works through the fundamentals with the right tools in hand. Every crate combines baking tools, time-saving supplies, a tested recipe card, a QR code to a step-by-step video, bakery-style packaging for sharing what you make, and a complimentary bag of the company's signature pretzels. The published crates show how specific it gets. Baking with a Scale includes a digital kitchen scale, a cookie scoop, a conversion magnet and pre-cut parchment. Baking with a Thermometer adds a digital thermometer and baking spray, Deep Dish Pie brings a freestanding pie pan and pastry mat, Showstopper Cupcakes includes piping tips, bags and vanilla extract, and Southern Style Biscuits sends White Lily flour, cutters and a hot honey butter kit. Crates are made and shipped from the United States during the third full week of each month. Cratejoy shows a free-shipping badge, and the current code also covers free shipping. Pay monthly or prepay three or six months for a lower per-crate price. It suits beginner and intermediate bakers who want to learn properly and anyone who would rather collect useful tools than more mixes.
