“One Smart Cookie” Baking Cabinet Makeover

I knew that with fall around the corner baking season would soon be here. So I set about on a project that has been on my wish list–organizing a baking pantry in one of my kitchen cabinets.
baking-cabinet-makeover
Moving all my baking supplies out of my pantry {I blogged about that HERE} frees up my valuable but limited pantry ‘real estate’. It also keeps essentials close to the stove and everything together in one place.  I admit, more often than not, when I start to make something I find I am suddenly out of baking soda or another essential ingredient.  So to start, I moved my baking staples into some extra jars I had lying around so now it’s simple to see what I have.  Same with all the other little things–like baking cups, nuts etc. –things that are easy to run out of and forget to replace, now I can glance in and see what we’re running low on.
supplies-baking-cabinet

 

I made it a priority to use things I already had on hand. What better tools to use than baking supplies to organize baking supplies? So, I used all my small loaf pans {jazzed up with a bit of washi tape} to corral baking cups, food coloring and birthday candles. No more digging for them in the back of the cupboards!

I also used “chip” clips to hang some recipes on the door, and command hooks to hang some measuring cups/spoons for easy access.
door-with-spoons-measuring-cups
Probably my favorite part, and I already shared this on Instagram so some of you have already seen this, is I moved all our cookie/ice cream sprinkles into some extra spice jars I had.  It’s something fun–and I can see exactly what I have–because the holidays and cookie-baking season is just around the corner {just ask Target, no doubt they’ll have decorations up any day!}.
baking-sprinkles-in-spice-jars
I also organized some other baking supplies into containers. I have flour, sugar etc. in canisters on my counter so these are just some other essentials that I tend to be out of when the urge to whip up a batch of bar cookies hits, so now I can see exactly what I have.
baking-cabinet-food-storage
  Here’s one last look! The holidays can be a pretty busy time, so this project is one thing that will definitely make things easier and smarter come cookie-baking season 🙂

    I love this idea, I tried organizing my baking stuff but none of it fit all together in the same place, I need more cabinet space 🙁 … but one thing that did help me was putting all my cookie cutters in a large glass pickle jar, I had these things scattered everywhere, & I managed to get all my sprinkles in one place too! 🙂

    My favorite hack to make extra crispy bacon with less fat is to flip over a microwaveable bowl and put it on a plate. Cover the bowl with paper towels and then lay the bacon over the bowl and top with another paper towel. As the bacon cooks the grease falls into the plate!

    Coconut oil is my favorite life hack right now. I have been using it for so many things! My favorite is just using it to grease my pans instead of using the fake stuff in the can!

    You are inspiring me to redo my storage space too. I have some unattractive open shelves and I think I will see about making some doors and getting rid of the things that I’m really not using.
    One of my favorite things to do is make my own simmering potpourri with either eucalyptus leaves or orange peel in my mini slow cooker.

    Save even a tablespoon or two of leftover veggies instead of throwing them out. Freeze and use later in soup.

    We started making our own spices (ie: taco seasonings) from scratch and keep them in large containers. A lot cheaper than buying the little packets

    I recycle and have for years. One of the HARDEST things to get clean is the empty PB jars! OMG! Horrid! I have recently found out that if you put a bit of dish soap in the dirty jar, almost fill it with hot water, and then put the lid back on and give it a shake. The PB eventually just dissolved off! I shake it every time I think of it (keep it by the kitchen sink) and when I can tell all the stuck on PB is gone, I dump the water and rinse and its all sparkly and ready to recycle!

    When I bake a sheet cake or brownies, I cut them into squares, wrap each one and freeze them. When ready for a treat, thaw, frost and enjoy.

    I love to go to DI to search for old things that could be re purposed. It is so fun! I have also used mason jars in the past to store pasta, flour, and many other spices/ingredients. Your idea for the baking cabinet is just amazing! I need to find a spot in my kitchen where I can do that. Thanks for the idea.

      The canisters are from IKEA and the chalkboard I ordered from ETSY, just search by “chalkboard labels”! Thanks so much, AMY
