There is provided a combination pastry blender and culinary whisk, comprising a handle portion at one end and a connecting region connecting the handle portion and a mixing region generally in the shape of an inverted dome, wherein the mixing region is principally formed of a wire bent to form a plurality of wires arranged adjacent to each other and defining a generally convex surface for pastry blending, the bent wire being stiff enough to withstand the stress and pressure whereby in a pastry blending operation the mixing region maintains the inverted dome shape, and the bent wire also being relatively thick to be able to press onto a pasty for blending thereof but without cutting therethrough.
