Hey all! Every once in a while a thread pops up where someone asks "what do i do with all my cake tools". So many folks have everything jumbled together in one box or drawer. This is how i started too, but it took forever to find what i was looking for... so off i went to organize, little did i know it would grow into this!

I did one of these (photos on how I organize) a few years ago and decided I would do an updated version (have moved from a small craftsman tool cart to this stainless baby!). I will be moving all my stuff out of my kitchen and into our new bakery (yay!) in about 3 weeks (can't wait to have my kitchen back!) so I figured now was the perfect time.

All of my pans, books, my industrial sugar sifter, cooling racks, etc are kept on a narrow gorilla rack.

The remainder of my tools are kept in a Stainless Steel Rolling Tool chest (thanks hubby! He's an aircraft mechanic and this is one of his "spare" tool chests) and organized into drawers by task.

My tips are all organized into a hardware nuts and bolts "thingy" that can be hung on the wall. I have them divided into rows by what they do, ie: leaves, petals, rounds, etc.

I can't wait to move all of this into our shop and be able to spread out even more. I am an organizational fanatic and am just giddy with anticipation of creating a new, even larger, space!

Until then, enjoy the tour of my space (you are only allowed 10 pics per post so the second set of pics are in part 2, a second post)

I finally managed to sort myself out a few months ago in the shop! Everything remains where it is with the exception of tips, which I keep losing, just this morning I was all over for a #68! The box is a great idea, cant wait for the stores to open tomorrow!!! Thank you for taking the time to post this...Merry Christmas!

I need something like this.

I love it. I just bake for a hobby but have way too many kitchen gadgets for my sanity. We just moved into a new house so I guess now is the time to figure it out.

Thanks for sharing it.
