Essential Baking Supplies in the Kitchen

For a well-organized kitchen, it's best to organize the areas into zones, the baking zone, the prep zone, etc... Here is one location that even the kids would like to set up with you. "The Baking Zone" Who doesn't like a sweet now and again? I am not a big baker myself, but my family loves to bake cookies and cakes around the holidays, so we had to have a baking zone for our baking supplies tools (Affiliate Link). Here is a list of the tools (Affiliate Link) needed to make the area a massive success for your baking zone!

Essential baking supplies tools in your baking zone

Flour

Flour (various types of flours and grains if used) in a sealed container AND Sugars (brown, confectioner, and white) in a sealed container.

The containers to use for these items should be sealed. If they have a label (Affiliate Link) in the front, that works too. Or, you can use your label maker (Affiliate Link) to make labels (Affiliate Link).

Measuring Tools

Measuring tools (Affiliate Link) (cups, spoons, etc...) Pick a variety of cups and spoons, and get ones for liquids and ones for dry ingredients. I find it makes baking a lot faster if you don't have to wash your supplies between each step.

These items can be hung by the loop on the measuring tools (Affiliate Link), or you can use 3M Command hooks (Affiliate Link) and stick them to the cabinet door to hold the measuring instruments. Here are some with handles below from Amazon (Affiliate Link) (affiliate).

Baking powder and baking soda

Baking powder and baking soda in sealed containers: I like containers with locks on all four sides. It seals them a lot better than ones that just lay on top.

You can leave these items in their original containers.

Baking Oils

Baking Oils (vegetable oil) - store these items where you usually use them instead of the baking area. This way, you don't need to always go to the baking area to get oil.

If you have several baking oils options, you can place them together in one area of the baking section.

Flavorings

Flavoring like vanilla, almond, peppermint, etc...

These little bottles can easily fall over. Having them in tall clear acrylic containers works best for these items.

Baking tools

Useful Baking Supplies Tools (Affiliate Link) like cookie cutters, rolling pins, pastry brushes, cutters, sifters, decorating icing tools (Affiliate Link).

Each of these items has its options to organize. Here are some I found on Amazon (Affiliate Link)(affiliate).

The next baking supplies tools on the list are Baking Pans

Baking Pans like Pie plates, cookie sheets (Affiliate Link), etc...

Baking pans can be stacked, or you can store them vertically. Below are some that I found on Amazon (Affiliate Link) (affiliate) that use racks for baking pans.

Pre-mix boxes

Baking pre-mix boxes (Affiliate Link) (if used)

Using acrylic bins with a low front or handles on a cabinet shelf keeps these items contained, making them less likely to fall over while getting other things out.
