Some of us were blessed with incredible cooking and baking talents, and others of us can barely boil water (I'll never admit which group I fit into, but those who know me know all too well!). But just because you're not a Rachel Ray or Paula Deen double doesn't mean you can't master some simple recipes and HAVE FUN while doing it! The key is having fun, colorful, useful kitchen gadgets which bring a smile to your face while you're whipping up your "gourmet" meal.

Here are a few fun kitchen gadgets you can't resist, but everyone can EASILY afford - also a fun idea for a bridal shower or wedding basket for the newlyweds:
