  1. How to Organize Cake Decorating Tips

    • 1

      Assess your decorating tip usage. Think about whether you utilize a range of decorating tips frequently, the same tips the majority of the time and others less often or if you have decorating tips set aside for children or guests to use.

    • 2

      Arrange your cake decorating tips on a table or countertop according to the most practical arrangement for your needs. Place the most frequently used tips in the front and center, or organize the tips based on size, type or occasion. Keep special-use decorating tips separate.

    • 3

      Choose a storage case that best fits your cake decorating tip organizational needs. Consider cases that will accommodate all of your current tips as well as future purchases. Decide whether you want a storage case that will function solely as a decorating tip case, or whether you want a case that will accommodate both your decorating tips and other cake decorating equipment.

      Familiarize yourself with storage case options including brand name cake decorating caddies, bead storage cases, and even tackle boxes. All of these serve different decorating needs well and keep cake decorating tips separate, depending on the preferences of the owner. Take some tips with you when you shop for storage cases to make sure there is room for tips to stand upright in their cubicles.

    • 5

      Arrange your decorating tips in your new storage case. If you desire, draw a chart of decorating tip placement and tape it to the inside of the storage case lid as a guide. Draw boxes representing tip placement in the container, and simple silhouette outlines of the tip design.
