My Baking Workstation

I would like to to take the opportunity to further express how cool i am, and how you too can be almost as cool as me. Did you know that your level of coolness can be measured by your organizational skills?

It started with using shoeboxes to keep my baking stuff together. Then i saw those cute red tool boxes at canadian tire and saw that it wasn't stupid expensive. My coolness kicked in and decided this would be perfect and ultra cool to use for my supplies.

I got the Medium sized one. Right now it holds my Sprinkles, Food Colouring, Dust Powders, Extracts, Lavender, Vanilla Beans, a Slab of Sugar Paste, Palette Knife, Apron, Mini bags for cookies, piping bags, my bakers notebook and a bunch of other stuff.

Another tip for having a cool inventory is buying ingredients when you are far from home. They make a great souvenir for yourself, and when you bake stuff, and tell people about it, you can entice them with the fact that your vanilla came straight from a little store in Puerto Vallarta where you got to try some tequila samples, or that your lavender is from a lavender farm that you visited in Kelowna last summer. It totally ups the value of your baked goods if your ingredients come with a story of travel and adventure.

Here's an example:

Lucky Chap Who Gets To Try My Stuff- "Oh these Earl Grey Cookies are simply divine!"

Me- "I'll have you know, that the earl grey i used in the recipe comes from a hotel i stayed at when i visited Kelowna last summer. It came with the complimentary breakfast. Ahaha!"

LCWGTTMS- "Oh that's wonderful! I love tasting other people's travel and adventure in cookie form!"


So work on your pantry and storage skills, and soon, you too might hear things like "Wow! This tastes better than anything else i've ever tried!"
