Major League Rolling Pins

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Bakeball Bat Rolling Pin is a Baking Home Run

— December 27, 2013 — Art & Design
Roll your dough like a MLB champ with the Bakeball Bat rolling pin.

This playful rolling pin is designed and shaped exactly like a regular baseball bat without the intentions of hitting actual home runs. The only balls this bat will be hitting are the balls of dough placed before it. Sized 1-3/4" diameters x 18" -- it's much, much smaller than any regular bat -- this intricate rolling pin exhibits laser cut-out designs that showcase the Bakeball Bat name and hit the dough like the real thing. Designed by Jordi Pla, this ridiculously fun rolling pin will have your baking sessions feeling like the cupcake or cookie-making World Series.

Crafted with care and the most sleek and simple detailing, this rolling pin will have you hitting your delicious recipes out of the park.
