10 Super-Smart Ways to Organize All Your Random Baking Supplies
Baking supplies are tricky to store. Maybe you have a couple dozen types of sprinkles and you’re not sure where to keep them? Or a few cookie cutters that don’t seem to have a home? Or just one whisk that always jams up the drawer? Whether you’re an avid baker or just starting to dabble, we found all sorts of brilliant ideas to help you organize your treat-making supplies.
1. Try a tackle box.

5. Stash your cookie cutters in a cookie jar.
That cookie jar works just as well before you’ve even made the cookies! Use a big glass one to contain all your cookie cutters, like Haeley of Design Improvised.
6. Use a pegboard.
We turned a pegboard into a baker’s paradise. We used longer hooks to organize rows of cookie cutters, a vase to hold parchment paper, and lots of individual hooks for other odds and ends.
7. Load up a kitchen cart.
Gather everything up on a rolling cart to pull out come baking day! This one happens to come from our most-pinned pantry of all time, but you could also tuck a cart under a counter or in a corner somewhere if you don’t have the space to wheel a cart in and out of a pantry.
8. Put cupcake liners in Mason jars.
Those little stacks of extra cupcake liners can get wobbly, but Julie of Table for Two discovered that Mason jars are just the right size to keep them neat.
