Whether it’s for yourself or a gift for a loved one, t-shirts are the perfect way to express your passions and interests to those around you. If you love to bake, you’re probably always thinking about the last thing you made or the next idea that you have.
When you wear a baking t-shirt, it makes it easy to strike up a conversation with anyone about your favorite past-time. Also, people love getting t-shirts as gifts, and they provide a great way to bring out the best emotions in others.
In this post, we are going to show you 20 of our favorite, unique baking t-shirts that we’ve designed ourselves. Some were made to make you laugh, while others we made to simply show others your appreciation for baking.
Where Can I Purchase These Shirts?
All of our designs, including our non-baking designs, can be found on our store-fronts on teepublic.com and redbubble.com. We have a couple of our designs available on amazon.com as well. We used to sell our designs directly, but when these sites make it so easy and affordable and offer so many products, why bother?

Now, let’s move on to some of our favorite baking shirts.
1 – Baking Is My Therapy (view on Amazon)
What does baking mean to you? Is it your passion, or just something you do in your free time? Regardless, baking is a great release for stress and pent up, negative energy. When you’re spending time baking something in the kitchen, you forget about all of life’s challenges, and for that hour or two, life is perfect.
If all of this describes someone you know, this shirt might be the perfect gift for them. This particular shirt is our best seller, and we believe the reason is that it provides a true representation of baking for so many people. If baking is your passion, this shirt is for you.
2 – Love Baking
This design is one of our newer ones and is a good extension of the first design that we covered. This simple design has the word “Baking” with hearts above and below. We created this design for people that love to bake, whether it’s their passion or simply something they do in their free time during the weekends.
Baking just happens to be one of those things that people either love or hate to do. For those that love it, they tend to really love it. If you’re one of those people, show people how much you love to bake.
3 – Professional Taste Tester
One of the greatest benefits of baking is that you get to taste test all of the delicious baked goods that you create. If you’re going to constantly taste-test your food, why not give yourself an official title: Professional Taste Tester?
People might think you taste your food, simply because it’s there, or simply because you can. What these people don’t realize is that by testing your food, you’re honing in on the perfect combination of ingredients, right? Well, at least that’s what we’ll keep telling ourselves!
4 – Rollin’ in the Dough (view on Amazon)
Do people ever ask you why you got into baking? You do it for the money, right? I mean, come on, you’re rolling in the dough! Well, maybe that’s not exactly what people had in mind…
This funny baking t-shirt is perfect for those of you who love to laugh at what you do. Baking is meant to be fun, and it should be a great energy release. Wear this shirt and laugh a little as you enjoy doing what you love to do.
5 – Donuts Separated at Birth
Donut and donut hole were once happily baking together in a nice, toasty oven, when all of the sudden, they were violently torn apart. Living their lives separately, they thought they’d never see each other again. The next day, one lucky human took pity on them and took both of them home. Unfortunately for the donut and donut hole, they were only reunited for a brief moment, as that lucky human took them home to a house full of other hungry humans…
This funny donut shirt is great for those of you who love to eat donuts (everyone?). If you want to get a smile or laugh out of someone, give it to them as a gift, along with some donuts and donut holes.
This is also a great gift for a sugar-loving child. For other great gift ideas for kids, check out our gift guide for child bakers.
6 – Full-Time Baking Mom
Are you a mom who loves to bake? If so, this design was made specifically for you. Being a mom can seem like a full-time job on it’s own, but it’s important to make time for your passion: baking.
This baking shirt is a perfect gift for mother’s day. Show them how much you appreciate their efforts, not only with their kids, but with all the delicious baked goods that they create!
7 – Dads Bake Too
Now that we have mom covered, let’s turn our attention to dad. A common misconception is that only women love to bake. This is far from true. More and more these days, men are showing their love for spending time in the kitchen.
If you happen to be part of a family that loves to bake, we have you covered for both mother’s day, with the shirt above, and father’s day, with this shirt. Show them both how important they are, and let them be proud of their love for baking.
8 – World’s Greatest Baker
Let’s look at one more design for mom and pops. While there can only be one world’s greatest baker, we can all hold this title in the eyes of our children. Kids can be quite picky when it comes to food, but almost all children love baked goods.
This simple design is for all of you parents out there that hold the title of “World’s Greatest Baker,” at least through the eyes of your loving children.
9 – My Kids Think These Cookies Are for Santa
What’s more exciting for children than to bake cookies on Christmas Eve in hopes of Santa eating them when he brings them all of their presents the following morning?
Unfortunately, those cookies aren’t going to eat themselves. That’s where the parents come in. Since you helped bake all of those delicious cookies, it only seems fair that you get to enjoy them, right?
You get to eat cookies, so you’re happy. Your kids think Santa ate the cookies, so they’re happy. Win-win.
This funny Christmas baking t-shirt is perfect to wear around the holidays. If your children are at the right age, you can wear it in front of them while baking the cookies, and they won’t even know what it says!
10 – Treat Others with Cookies
Let’s stick with the cookie theme. Growing up, your parents always told you to treat others the way you’d like to be treated. What did they actually mean by this? Taken literally, if we’re “treating” others the way we like to be treated, there’s going to be some delicious cookies involved!
If you or a loved one is a cookie lover, this funny shirt design should make you smile. Take a phrase that’s often associated with bullying, and turn it into something that will make you laugh!
11 – Spoon Licker
This design follows a similar idea to the “Professional Taste Tester” design that we mentioned above. If you love to bake, you’re all too familiar with the concept of licking the spoon while you bake. Not only does it allow you to taste your delicious food as you make it, but it also allows you to make sure you get it just right.
This funny shirt design applies to both baking and cooking in general, so if you know someone who loves to taste their food as they cook, this shirt is for them.
12 – DO NOT DISTURB When I’m in the Kitchen
Let’s not stray too far from the kitchen with our next design. While some of us love having help when we’re baking in the kitchen, others like to work alone. An interruption simply slows you down and makes it more difficult for you to focus on perfecting your baked goods.
If you happen to be one of those people that needs their space while they’re working hard in the kitchen, this shirt is for you. We recommend wearing it when the in-laws are over during holidays.
13 – This Is My “It’s About to Get Messy in Here” Shirt
Let’s stay in the kitchen for another design with this funny, but accurate, design. While there are bakers out there that can keep things clean while they work, most of us prefer to let loose in the kitchen. In other words, if your kitchen’s not a mess by the time you’re done baking, you’re doing it wrong.
If you know someone who loves to have a good time while they bake, dirtying up just about every pan and utensil along the way, this shirt is for them.
14 – Sugar Daddy
Let’s take a trip back to talking about dad. In this case, he might not be a baker and might not even like to spend time in the kitchen. However, he sure does love to eat all of the delicious baked goods thrown his way. We like to call this dad “Sugar Daddy.”
If your spouse or father has a sweet tooth, this design is a great father’s day gift for him. Give it to him as a gift with some homemade cupcakes.
15 – Every Day Is Pie Day
Mathematicians are some of the most intelligent people in the world. With that being said, we all make mistakes. When they declared one day a year to be “Pi Day,” they really screwed up. In the baking world, we all know that every day is pie day.
Of course, those crazy mathematicians weren’t talking about the same type of pie that we are, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun at their expense, right? Besides, for once, it’s nice to say that we corrected an error made by a mathematician!
16 – Bite Me
“Bite Me” is a common phrase that’s not usually associated with a positive experience, so we thought we should have some fun with it. This simple shirt combines the phrase with something that all of us bakers love to sink our teeth into: cake!
This shirt is for any of you bakers out there who love to poke fun at themselves and their favorite hobby.
17 – A Cupcake a Day Keeps the Kids at Bay
If you’re a parent, you know how difficult it can sometimes be to take care of your children. They just have so much energy and are constantly running both their bodies and their mouths.
If you’re in need of a quick fix, try a cupcake. Pretty much all kids love these delicious treats, and they’ll stop in their tracks to get their hands on one. Just don’t expect the silence to last long, because as soon as that sugar kicks in, you’re in trouble!
18 – You Wouldn’t Know – You’re Not a Baker
Baking isn’t just something you do. It’s something that requires tons of time spent in the kitchen, learning all of the little tricks. In other words, it takes experience.
While some people just bake around the holidays, others bake any chance they get. This shirt is for those of you who are serious about your craft and have learned all the ins and outs that only come with hours upon hours in the kitchen.
If you’re one of these people, it’s okay to repeat the phrase on the shirt. You’ve earned it!
19 – Cupcakes – Always Invited
Have you ever had to turn a guest away from a party or event, or at least, have you ever wanted to turn someone away? It’s never fun when an uninvited person shows up. There is one exception to this though: cupcakes!
Cupcakes are known to randomly show up at get-togethers without anyone asking for them. However, you’ll never see cupcakes turned away. In fact, almost every person at the event will be happy to see them, even asking for more!
20 – I Bake, Because Therapy Is Expensive
We started this post with a design about baking being a form of therapy, so we thought it would only be fitting to end with another one. For those of you that are truly passionate about baking, it really does provide many of the benefits of therapy, but without the big bill!
Like the very first design, this t-shirt is for anyone who finds stress relief or reduced tension from spending time in the kitchen.
Wrapping It Up
If you’ve made it to the end, we hope you found something that you truly love! We’ve spent a lot of time coming up with these designs, and it’s always great when we get positive feedback about any of them.
As we mentioned earlier, t-shirts make for a perfect gift, whether it’s for Christmas, a birthday, or just a random occasion. If you do end up buying one of these shirts for a loved one, let us know how they react.
We love to hear stories about people’s reactions to seeing one of our designs for the first time. If you’re willing, snap a picture and share it on one of our social media accounts as well!
