I absolutely love baking and casual baking for me is almost like therapy. The process of mixing and combining the perfect amount of ingredients can create the most delicious breads, cakes, cookies and so much more! Baking for my family and friends, at any time of the year and using seasonal ingredients, is a gift I give myself and my loved ones. That’s why having a baking station is essential in my kitchen.
When you’re getting your baking station ready, make sure you’ve got enough counter space for things like kneading bread dough or mixing up your ingredients. A good tip is to arrange everything so that your stand mixer, ingredients, and pans are easy to reach. This setup will help things go smoothly as you bake!
In this post, I will guide you on how to set up a portable baking station and share essential tips on must-have items, including a staple stand mixer I recently purchased from Lowe’s. I’ve always appreciated the wide range of products available on Lowe’s website, but I am particularly impressed by their beautiful decor and fantastic prices on both large and small appliances. This stand mixer has quickly become my favorite item, and it would make a wonderful gift for anyone who loves to bake. Be sure to keep it in mind!

The number one item you will need is a surface and if space is an issue, you can get clever with a portable baking station just like the one we see here. A portable trolley can create a baking station with plenty of room for canisters, mixing bowls, measuring cups, baking sheets and pans on the open shelves and counter space that gives easy access to a stand mixer.
My favorites from Lowe’s are Damerin Black Wood Base with Wood Top Kitchen Island, SINOFURN Black Mdf Base with Mdf Wood Top Rolling Kitchen Cart & Powell Black Wood Base with Wood Butcher Block Top Kitchen Island.
I can’t imagine my life in the kitchen without my stand mixer! Stand mixers provide hands-free functionality and impressive mixing power. They shine brightest when it’s time to tackle tough jobs, like giving that dough a serious kneading workout! 🙂 Among them, the KitchenAid Artisan Cast Iron Black 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer stands out as the best I’ve ever owned. It includes a range of attachments for added versatility and I purchasing it from Lowe’s is fast and easy. If you’re searching for gift ideas, this KitchenAid Stand Mixer is a timeless gift that will be cherished for years and truly keeps on giving! 😉

When it comes to measuring tools, I love having fun and choosing ones that are functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. Now, we all know that having mixing bowls in various sizes is essential for any baking station. I prefer using large glass mixing bowls so, I can easily monitor the ingredients’ textures while ceramic mixing bowls are also a big favorite of mine.
Although not shown above (I keep my baking sheets in my kitchen cabinets), baking pans and sheets are essential components of any baking station. In my view, heavy-gauge aluminum or steel is ideal due to their durability and ability to distribute heat evenly and Lowe’s offers many options to choose from.
Whether you are creating a portable baking station or have a designated area in your kitchen or pantry, having storage for the ingredients and baking tools is something you must keep on top of your list. I especially like kitchen carts because they keep everything within reach and easy to find. Adding a wicker basket or crate allows you to easily find every ingredient you need while concealing the mess. After all, baking can create a sweet mess – quite literally – but it’s a mess that’s definitely worth creating! 🙂
