Bake Eat Love offers seasonal monthly subscription boxes to make delicious homemade desserts, teach you new skills, and excite your palate with unique flavors and combinations.

Boxes come with pre-measured dry ingredients for 12 to 20 individual treats as well as small baking accessories you may need, such as baking cups, piping bags, and decorations. There is a bonus item in every box to complement the recipe, like spatulas, piping tips, and thermometers. That means that over time you will have a full set of baking essentials, making this subscription ideal for new bakers who don’t already have a lot of tools.

Having trouble nailing your recipes? The recipe card included will show pictures of the baking process at critical points so you can compare your version to Bake Eat Love’s. For additional instruction and guidance, you can go online to access videos and useful recipe tips, so you have an opportunity to build skills and gain a broader understanding of the instruction and baking as a process.

Boxes include inventive treats like lemon meringue cupcakes, red white & blueberry swirl tartlets, and chocolate blackberry mouse trifles.

Once you sign up, you will receive an email in advance to let you know what you will be making and any perishable ingredients or tools you need to supply on your own. At around $38 per month, this is a little pricier than other options, but the price goes down to about $32 a month if you sign up for the three- or six-month prepaid subscription.

Founded by a native German who wanted to bring German bread-making traditions to the United States, Breadista offers a monthly subscription for bread baking at home. Kits include ingredients to make a variety of German-style bread, buns, and pretzels.

Kits come with a 24-ounce baking mix to yield over two pounds of bread or the equivalent in single-serving items such as rolls, equaling about ten each.

Ingredients are pre-measured and, whenever possible, organic. The high-quality flours are never enriched, bleached, or over-processed, and are sourced from a traditional mill on the West Coast. Necessary add-ons are either just water or occasionally perishable dairy products, depending on the recipe.

Kits come with a pictured recipe card, giving bakers a helpful cheat sheet. The best part? Boxes always come with a delicious spread of ingredients like jam, caramel, or olive oil (from a local artisan) to pair with the bread. There are also useful kitchen baking tools such as oven thermometers or dough scrapers.

Subscribers can choose between one-, three-, or six-month subscriptions and can cancel at any time. Subscriptions start at about $45 a month.

For an added benefit, with each purchase of a Breadista box, one meal is donated to Feeding America, a charitable organization designed for stocking food banks and ending hunger.

Fresh Baked Cookie Crate is here to meet your needs for those of you who can’t get enough cookies in your life. Each month, you can receive a baking box filled with ingredients—freshly packed and vacuum-sealed—to make a fresh and unique cookie.

Complete with step-by-step instructions and additional items for the recipe, your kit will get you one step closer to eating delicious fresh baked cookies right out of the oven. Choose from four subscription options that start at $35 and go up depending on factors like cookie size you chose and options for boxes with surprise offerings. Another bonus is that your first box comes with a custom-made silicone baking mat, a handy tool for all your future cookie baking.

Each kit makes at least two dozen cookies with quality ingredients as a top priority—preference is given to organic, all-natural, and local ingredients when available.

What kind of cookies will you be making? These aren’t your usual chocolate chip and sugar cookies—expect to try unique flavor combinations such as S’more cookies, Carrot Cake Cookie Sandwiches, Brown Butter Snickerdoodle, or sweet and salty combos like Candied Bacon Chocolate Chip.

If you have a favorite cookie or two and want to remake them, all cookie mixes will be available for separate purchase in the online shop after their release.

Red Velvet NYC subscriptions come with not one but two dessert kits delivered on the first Thursday of each month. All kits come with pre-measured ingredients, and unlike the majority of other baking subscriptions, this one includes all perishable ingredients (except eggs).

Ingredients are packed in a thermal-lined bag with cold gel packs that are designed for reuse. Instead of recipe cards, recipes are found online with a brief description of the dessert, skill level, detailed information on prep and bake time, what additional equipment you will need to make the dessert, and photos of key steps in the baking process.

Treats are inspired by New York City's eclectic and varied culture and include recipes such as Matcha Swirl Cookies, Crème Caramel, Lavender Vanilla Bean Cupcakes, and Flourless Chocolate Pecan Cookies. Though kits are not allergen-free, there are gluten-free options available.

Boxes with the two desserts are delivered the first Thursday of each month for about $50, an approximately 30 percent discount off of pricing for a la carte dessert kits. Despite the “NYC” in its name, Red Velvet NYC delivers nationally to the continental U.S. via FedEx express.
