My Baking Collection Part 2: Candles & Sprinkles (2015)

Since I just posted last week with a look into my supply of pans and cookie cutters, I thought I would follow up today with a little more fun. 

Do you all like sprinkles?  Oh good, because there are a ton in this post!  Check it out!

The 'Fun' Cabinet

Above my stove is a deep double cabinet where I hide, ahem, I mean store all of my baking supplies.  The right side is the boring side where I stash flour and salt, blah, blah, blah....  But on the left is all of my fun candles, sprinkles and cookbooks!

Notice two things: 

1)   Icing tubs can be recycled to make fantastic supply organizers (the little white tub in the bottom left corner)

2)   Yes, I absolutely store my paper umbrellas in a decorative glass jar. I mean, who doesn't?!?!

Baking Cookbooks

I keep my collection of baking cookbooks tucked away in the back of this cabinet.  I would like to (eventually) display them, but for now that isn't practical.....unless of course I wanted crayon scribbles and missing pages :D

Fun Fact:  The book pictured on the bottom left is my favorite.  It belonged to my MIL and is the book she used when baking for Husby and his brothers when they were kids.

Candles & Candle Holders

These candles are the fun sparking/ re-lighting kind!

Fun Fact:  About three years ago a local grocery store had a shopping cart full of cake candles that were clearanced out at .25 a box.  Why? Because a distant store in the chain was closing and the inventory had been sent to nearby stores for clearance purposes.  So even though the exact same boxes of candles were still available in the shelf at their full price, these candles were only .25

Do I even have to tell you that I stocked up?  Heehee...next photo please...

My Personal Rainbow

You are looking at about $4 here, thank you clearance!

Sprinkles!

It is too completely normal to keep each color of sprinkle available and on hand at all times! 

At the time of this photo I was keeping them in the plastic storage bin featured in the center...but it was bulky....and I have more sprinkles now too...so they no longer fit!  

One day I would like to transfer all of my sprinkles into clear mason jars and use pretty cupcake liners for the lids (thank you Pinterest!), but for now they are tucked into the cabinet.

A Little More

Left:  In addition to the small jars of sprinkles, I also like to keep these bigger tubs on hand.  Baby Girl thinks they make a great treat.  And giving the length of time it takes to eat a tablespoon of sprinkles compared to the amount of sugar consumed, I think it's a fantastic 'junk food'!

Top Right:  You gotta have food coloring, just gotta.

Middle Right: Remember those paper umbrellas I was talking about?  They were also in the clearance cart for .25  I've only used them once for baking,  Seems like most often they end up in sand castles or the Barbie house ;)

Bottom Right:  A few more sprinkles :D

 **********

I have a treasure hunting update (with the cake pans mentioned in the last post) coming soon.
I hope you enjoyed my candles & sprinkles as much as I do, thanks for stopping by!
