BAKING STATION

Hello, friends!
As you all know, I have spent several days without internet or phone service and, as sad as it is to say, 
it has left me with lots of free time. :)

If you have followed my blog for a while, you know I like to keep busy and I am always working on something 
around our home, so in the last few days I have organized every closet in this house. 
I think we now have some of the cleanest closest in Texas. LOL

 The pantry couldn't scape me either and in the middle of all that, I decided to do something 
I have been wanting to do for a while, create a small baking area in my kitchen.
This is what I did and I am sure when the holidays come around, it will make my life much easier.

I chose to use the area right next to the stove.



I had a new set of dishes in there, which I moved to the butler's pantry and this is where 
I went to work organizing my baking supplies.





This is what I did. On the first shelf I used two stands I had from my old house and several extra jars to organize all the sprinkles, nuts, spices, food coloring, cook books and a few other supplies.











I used the second shelf to store the flour and sugars in glass jars for which I made some vinyl labels.






And I have a little scoop in each jar from Dollar tree for extra convenience.






Above the jars you will find some cake and cookie mix
and frosting.



And I used the top shelf to store the cookie press, chopper and hand blender.




Using command hooks, I added the baking utensils to the inside of the cabinet door for easy access.






And on the cabinet underneath the counter you will find all the cookie sheets, cake pans, cooling racks, 
serving dishes and stands.


I sure had a fun morning organizing all the baking supplies and now I have a little more extra space 
in the pantry, which is always nice.

Thank you all for stopping by.
See you soon!

  1. VERY organized, Maria Elena! You did a great job setting this up and it looks like you took everything into consideration from the measuring cups to the pans. I have a similar upper cabinet set up, although I do have some mixes in the pantry. I should just move them over since we forget we have them and it makes sense to have everything in the same area.

    Be a sweetie,

  8. That is absolutely beautiful and I love how organized it is. There is nothing worse than starting to make something and having to stop and find an ingredient. Can you tell me how you made the vinyl labels? I would love to do that with my cabinets. Thank you.

    1. Hello! I made the labels with the Silhouette Cameo. It was my first time, but it worked really well.

  10. Great job, Maria Elena! Love the glass containers with their labels and their scoops! Last year, my laptop was in for repair for a week; I can't tell you how much energy I had and got so much done!! Makes you wonder, sadly, how much time we're all online.

  11. It is so much fun having a well-organized baking center, and yours certainly fits the bill! It took me several tries before I got mine just the way I wanted it, but having it definitely makes baking a lot more fun!

  12. Oh, Maria Elena...I LOVED this post!! I went back and looked at your pics several times. :) I love how you've organized this baking station. And you're right...you'll really appreciate the convenience of it come holiday baking time. You're so clever to use command hooks to hang baking utensils too. And, by the way...I have that same Santa's Favorite Cookies cookbook! I found it at Walmart years ago with no price tag, so the inexperienced checker just gave it to me for $1! Hee!

  18. Nice job. I've read it's usually recommended to refrigerate or freeze nuts, so they don't go rancid. I always freeze mine, they keep a long time. Just a thought. The "Pioneer Woman Cooks" cookbook? Sorry, but I had to laugh. I've watched her show a bit, and she uses so much packaged/premade foods, that I've haven't seen her do much actual cooking....

  19. I forgot, it's good to refrigerate yeast as well, stays fresh longer...

  27. Now this made me laugh because I often wonder how did I get so much more done when I was younger...well I did not have the internet then! :) Look at your lovely organization / fun post! :)

  28. Great job! Really turned out to be a handy baking center. It's as pretty as it is useful. lol! Can't help it, I love organization. It's pretty to me! I just organized my sewing room closet. It's such a nice feeling to go in there and see right where everything is. I have jars with scoops in my pantry that I love, but the cupboard worked fabulously! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
    hugs,

  30. Very well done! Love your labels and the little dollar store scoops.

    I think most of us can so relate to having extra time when we don't have Internet. I think we would be so much more productive if we spent less time in front of a computer screen...but then the irony would be we would have few people to share it with! lol

    Stopping by from CLH Maria. Happy to meet you :).
