An important thing to note here is that I have pretty much always been a die-hard Williams Sonoma kind of-gal. I love cooking and baking. I find both relaxing. So I have been incredibly guilty of spending quite a bit of $$$ in the past on my baking supplies hoping they would last for years and years. Well… the reality is ..yes and no. Some things have been worth the expense but others have not held up as planned. So I figured, why not order a selection of items from Amazon to see what type of quality I could come up with compared to some of my older Williams Sonoma items.
