How do you organise cake decorating stuff?

[ButterpieBride]

I appear to have gone a bit OTT with cake decorating stuff. I have several cases of colouring etc (thankyou approved food!), but I can store the unopened stuff pretty easily- it is the stuff that is half full that is the problem. Atm there are the ten or so bottles of colouring/flavouring on the dresser, the small writing icing (maybe 15 tubes)on the shelf, large (5 tubes)in the treat cupboard, sprinkles on the shelf (maybe 10 types), icing nozzles and bags in a box on the top, cutters in a drawer, cake cases in two tupperware boxes (one for muffin size, one for fairy cake size), sweets and rice paper in the treat cupboard and icing sugar on the dresser.

I bought a small toolbox thing from asda but it was nowhere near big enough.

What do you do?

No idea about the storage - perhaps one of the units from Ikea if you have room, but could you tell me where you buy your baking things? I find it difficult to get here (live abroad) and would love to find an online source)

www.approvedfood.co.uk is good for bulk buying (case of 12 bottles of food colouring for 99p anyone?), amazon and ebay are good as well. There are specialist sites, but those are where I have got most of my stuff.

Oh, approved food gets different things in at different times, you just have to keep an eye on it.

Thanks, will have a look there. I find it difficult to get food coloring here.

I bought some plastic storage trays from Tesco and have all my icing colours, glitters and cake cases in one of them inside the cupboard.
