If you love to bake, you know how quickly all of those baking accessories can start to multiply. All of a sudden you own several sets of measuring cups, cookie sheets in a rainbow of colors and enough muffin tins to open up your own bakery. Or perhaps that’s just me. Finding storage for these items, all in different sizes and shapes, can be tricky. Because they never seem to stack into each other, taking up more space than necessary.
So when I saw Larder & Vine’s Stackable Ceramic Bakeware Set, I needed to know more. From the photos, the eight pieces collectively fit into the largest component, a deep roasting pan, with the cookie sheets effectively serving as a “lid” for the whole operation.

The 8-piece set includes two 6-count muffin tins, two baking sheets, a loaf pan, a round cake pan, a square cake pan and the the aforementioned roasting pan. And true to the photos and description, they really do all stack into one another Tetris-style for easy storge.

There are some really beautiful color options. Aside from Limoncello shown above, there’s also French Gray, Lavender, Sage, Bondi (like a teal) and Cabernet (similar to an orange-ish red).

How It Stands Up to the Oven
Aside from winning me over with its stackability, these are high-performing pieces. Since we’re all diving into pumpkin spice season despite the hot summer temps, I decided to make my favorite pumpkin bread recipe using the loaf pan. So I cranked up the a/c and started mixing, then poured the batter into the 9-inch x 4.7-inch loaf pan.
The loaf pan is just slightly more shallow than the others I have at home, which I actually kind of like. It was easier to get a more even bake on the pumpkin bread. And it slid out of the pan like a dream. But perhaps the most important factorāthe pan cleans super easy. It was ready to be tucked back into the rest of the set before the pumpkin bread had fully cooled. That’s my kind of cleanup.
I totally get why people like ceramic bakeware so much. It really does offer an even, gentle heat that helps food cook consistentlyāno random hot spots that burn one side. It’s sturdy, easy to clean and doesnāt react with acidic foods like tomatoes or citrus, which can be a problem with some metals. Overall, it’s a mix of function and style that makes it a go-to for many, and now me as well.
