The essentials:

1. Measuring cup.
2. Cake pan.
3. Muffin pan.
4. A pot.
5. Icing spreader.
6. Table/tea measuring spoons.
7. Knifes.
8. Spoons! I rather use a spoon to spread things
9. Forks.
10. Mixer. But I usually mix things with a wooden spoon.

I much prefer a spoon for spreading over a knife! I thought I was the only one!

*high-five!*

I'd say I could not live without a stove. I use it so much, cooking breakfast, making lunch, and even dinner. So many of the meals I make are made using the stove.

There are more things that I'd hate to go without. Like a big cutting knife for chopping up all sorts of different things. A wooden or plastic spoon, pots, pans, etc.
