I don't have great aspirations when it comes to my dream Fall weekend. Think curling up with a good book and a cozy blanket – it is hibernation season, after all. But I do know that it wouldn't be complete without some freshly baked treats. And while I'll often cheat and make a quick trip to my local bakery, Joanna Gaines' recent Instagram video where she makes gorgeously gooey cinnamon rolls has inspired me to start baking my own – particularly since it gives me an excuse to stock up on kitchenware from Joanna Gaines' new cooking show.
Brand new bakeware isn't essential of course, but it is a wonderful source of motivation. And, I've spotted so many wonderful pieces from her Magnolia bakeware collection as well as her Hand and Hearth x Magnolia range at Target in her video.
Joanna making her irresistible cinnamon rolls
There's something about Joanna Gaines' modern rustic kitchen that makes me want to dust off my apron and start cooking for a crowd. Naturally, my tiny apartment kitchen doesn't always feel as glamorous as Joanna's, but I can at least get the look with her Magnolia pieces; my French grey ruffle cake stand receives endless compliments, and my Hearth and Hand with Magnolia-designed KitchenAid is my most prized possession.
After watching Joanna's cinnamon roll video on loop, I've tracked down everything that Joanna uses, from professional tools to beautiful bakeware, so you can get the look, and the best baking results, too.

While this isn't a Magnolia piece, a marble rolling pin is something that professionals swear by as the marble keeps dough cool, which is essential for best baking results.
I love the retro look of Joanna's green stripe mixing bowls, but I'm just as smitten with this sleek cream set; I'd use it for everything from baking to serving salads.
If I'm honest, it was this beautiful dish that really inspired me to switch on my mixer and start baking. It's an oven-to-table hero that's guaranteed to work just as hard in the oven as on the table.
