Maybe you’re the friend that loves making cakes and baked goods for their friends’ birthdays, maybe you look forward to breaking out Grandma’s old cornbread recipe for picnics, maybe you just have a ton of stuff in your kitchen, but whatever the reason one thing is always true about that room: it’s a big pain to organize all those baking supplies.

From the easily-lost small items like measuring spoons and cups, to all the various sizes and shapes of tins and pans that can start to clutter up your cabinets, organizing baking supplies can be an adventure all on its own, even above and beyond the constant effort it takes to keep the regular dinnertime mess clean.

Is this all starting to sound a little familiar? Fear not! We’ve got just what you need: tips on getting your baking supplies organized, out of the way, and easier to get to next time:

Measuring spoons: As helpful as they are for getting just the right amount of flour into that European sponge cake you love, measuring spoons have a nasty habit of either cluttering up your drawers or vanishing into thin air right when you need them. A great way to prevent both of these problems is to utilize the doors and flat spaces around you— get some shelving hooks and mount them on the inside of cabinet doors, up against the wall, off the side of wire wall shelves or against the back of the cabinet to keep them organized and out of the way. If you’re feeling especially crafty, pegboards are a great solution for this and other utensils.

Baking sheets: Muffin tins, baking sheets, and other oven implements are often the biggest consumers of space in the kitchen, but with a little imagination you can get them tidied up and make room for the other stuff your kitchen needs! Take some pantry organizers to hold onto your canned goods and baking ingredients, and then slide your baking sheets in sideways next to them to take advantage of the space you freed up. Barring that, try to take an unused shelf or space in a cabinet and make sure they’re stacked as neatly as possible—one of the leading causes of baking sheet clutter is letting them fall everywhere in a pile.

Cookie cutters: Cookie cutters, like measuring spoons, should be hung or stacked wherever possible to free up space elsewhere, but special care should be taken to organize them where possible. Sort them either by shape or by occasion, like those holiday-themed ones, to make sure you can access them more easily when the time comes.

Casserole dishes: Sweets and treats aren’t the only things that get baked in that kitchen—casserole dishes are also often found in this space. These tend to be a little heavier than most, so keeping them on the lowest shelf of your pantry (or even on some wire shelves in another room) will be a good shortcut to keeping them safe and accessible.

Cookbooks: Of course, after the dishes and utensils are taken care of, if you don’t have your favorite recipes handy you might never have a reason to take them back out! Sort your favorite cookbooks according to how often you use them and what they are (desserts, main courses, that one book that’s just mac & cheese, etc) and figure out what can go where. The big favorites could go on some wall shelves above the kitchen, and the rest can get kept on shelves or in bookcases in another room to free up space.
