To organize baking supplies, start by gathering all your baking tools, ingredients, and small appliances together. Designate a kitchen cabinet, pantry shelf, or baker’s rack as a hub for these supplies, and store them in a dry, organized space away from direct sunlight. Use airtight containers for small items and hang larger equipment to save space.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution to store baking supplies, but there are several ideas you can try. Open shelving and creating a baking zone in your kitchen can help with large or little pantry space. Stacking baking sheets together with short edges facing each other is a common method. For more storage, use plastic boxes from JoAnn or craft stores or pot lid holders. Oxo Pop canisters are more efficient space-wise and stack well.
Organize your kitchen to keep baking ingredients, jars, bowls, and utensils within easy reach. Use tray boxes in various sizes to store miscellaneous cookie/cake decorating supplies. Cake pans, food colors, cake combs, candy melts, and cookies can be organized using various storage methods.
A metal baking rack is the primary storage area in the studio, and researching the best storage solutions can help keep everything neat and tidy. Store extra sugar flowers and like decorations in small plastic tackle boxes, and sort sprinkles and other small cake decorated supplies in a bead or craft box. Rolling carts can also be functional organization around the home, making them an organizer’s dream. By following these tips, you can save messes just for when you’re baking and create a clutter-free and functional kitchen.

📹 How I Organize All My Cake Stuff!
I’ve been asked a lot how I organize all of my cake decorating tools. In this video, I will show you the different drawers, baskets …
Oh my gosh! This was so helpful! Do you have a solution for storing piping bags. I have my piping bags in a plastic container & I’m looking for a way I can store them so I can pull them out easier, kind of like the ease of pulling a Clorox wipe out of it’s container! LOL Any ideas on how to do that???
Hi 🙂 I use a work bench, I think its made for tools lol, I found it at bunnings and it stores nearly everything I need in the draws, at my fingertips as I work on the top bench on it. That way I am not in my actual kitchen in kids way when they want food! Lol! I dry my toppers in filing shelves/draws from Big W, they work great also for my paperwork/ letter cutters and stencils, and moulds. 🙂
You are organized! What works for you may not work for others 🙂Hi Mom! Mothers are your biggest fan (I lost mine 2 yrs ago but I still hear her voice telling me good job) Sorry I ranted but moms are AWESOME! Your mom is crafty & Your just like your mom. I was just storing all must stuff in totes because all bedrooms were occupied. When my daughter moved out it became my “Office”. I still have totes hid behind a shiny curtain, 2 beige garage storage wall units, cubby’s with all my printers on top. We all make do girl 🥰
I love the balance of open shelving and drawers. I too store a lot of my items like this. I have milk crates stacked on their sides that I use for open shelving of sorts. I have a closet that my husband installed extra shelves in for me. It really is kind of an organized hot mess. I live by the motto of as long as it’s clean and I know where it is, then it’s organized! Seriously don’t worry about what other people think, are they paying your bills??? LOL! Thanks for another great article girl – Love and hugs to you!
You should see my storage and crazy hoarding closet, kitchen drawers, garage and twos sheds …I’m obsessive when it comes to buying cake supplies AND I don’t even have a cake business 🤦🏻♀️ two or three more years and I will start selling and offering it for free to down size. I’m 65 and don’t see myself making cakes much longer😩 I never had the opportunity to dedicate my time to cake decorating…life and other commitments got in the way 💔I’m caregiving for my 92 & 93 parents…living NO time for me or my cakes😞 May God continue to bless you in your cake business 🙏💕 I LOVE your work, you are amazingly talented👍😊
Hey from the UK! I’ve just found you and perusal your articles. How is the Wilton dividing ring thing used/ used for? All the spokes seem to be set differently (presumably for different sizes of stripes/ distances) so how does it work to help with even marks? Do you need to set your turntable on top of it?! 🤷🏻♀️ I’m clueless! 😂 I’d really appreciate the help/ insight. xx
I’m sure your so used to how you store your supplies that once you do have more space you’ll most likely store everything the same way….I like to get shoe boxes at Home Depot to store little things like the flower cutters and molds keeps them nice and clean and you can label the boxes so you know what your grabbing for…I have a super tall storage closet that my best friend gifted me and it allows me the space to use those shoe boxes…Works for me cuz my kitchen is NOT that big.
I use my chocolate moulds by spaying lightly with wilton cake release then placing my fondant or modelling paste :which can be used white and coloured after dry or coloured before: my family just sigh when they stand at the doorway of my cake decorating room/ my 35 years of equipment : thank you for being so honest about our craft the good and trials we experience ; love from Brisbane Queensland Australia xx
After running up and down the stairs 82 bajillion times when I was storing my items in the basement, I’ve not taken over the wall between my kitchen and dining room. I have stainless shelves that are 6 feet tall and 5 feet wide. I organize my supplies in totes, mainly shoe box size for smaller items, and larger totes for pans and boards. I use snap lid containers for my ingredients. I didnt think I’d love all of my cake supplies being out, but it forces me to keep them organizes and its so much easier having everything 2 steps away.
Love it! My dream would be a room that I could totally dedicate to baking and decorating supplies! As it is, I’ve just taken over pretty much every room downstairs in my house… it’s everywhere 😭 plastic drawers on wheels, a stack of plastic tubs piled up behind the dining room door, ingredients all over the kitchen. It’s a nightmare! Most of the time I know where everything is but on occasion there will be a “sh1t, where the HELL is XXX” moment 🤣
