Shrove Tuesday falls on Tuesday 1 March in 2022. To make sure your pancake-flipping is on point, stock up on the top gear for what is, frankly, one of the best days of the year…

1. Personalised Mumma and Me Cotton Apron Set

If you’re celebrating Shrove Tuesday by making a batch of homemade pancakes, you’ll need to prepare for a little mess. As well as leak and stain-proofing your kitchen, you’ll need to protect your clothes too – especially if you’re cooking with a child in tow. Sparks and Daughters have designed this practical, Mumma & Me apron set, £39, made from pure natural fairtrade cotton, which can be personalised with yours and your little ones name in pretty lettering.

This is a lovely idea for Mummy and child or Granny and Grandchild to have matching aprons to wear when baking together, from Pancake Day to all year round. The aprons are unisex so they can be personalised for a Grandad and Grandchild too. The set includes one adult and one child’s apron and you have the option to add an extra adult and child’s apron too.

2. Personalised Kids Baking Set

This super cute personalised baking set, £13.50, is made up of child friendly sized utensils, comprising a rolling pin, spatula, pasty brush, spoon and cutting board, all wrapped with a gender neutral ribbon ready for gifting. Each utensil (except the pasty brush) features the words “Baked with love by” to which you can add your chosen name to create a fabulous gift for the child in your life, suitable for children aged 5 and under.

3. Rocky Road Pancakes with Marshmallows and Chocolate Biscuit

Want to put a interesting choclately, marshmallow twist on your pancakes this year? Why not whip up a batch of fluffy American pancakes with The Little Pancake Company’s delicious Rocky Road gourmet pancake mix, £8.50? Each pancake mix contains fluffy marshmallows, biscuit pieces and indulgent Belgian chocolate and serves 4 people.

Warm fluffy pancakes in less than 5 minutes? Don’t mind if we do. All you need to add to the pancake mix is one egg and some milk and then give it a whisk. And they only take a minute or two to cook – just enough time to grab your cosy socks and dance around the kitchen.
