Is there any reason that I shouldn't or couldn't store character cake pans in tubs in my garage? The garage is not temperature controled or moisture controled. It's just a good ole fashion garage. They take up so much space in the house and most I don't use on any regular basis so I'm trying to think of somewhere else to store them that is still easily accessible.

thanks

I dont have any room on the kitchen or the garage (the garage It's my husband's property, so I cant keep any cake stuff in there) so I took a bedroom upstairs and keep the computer and all my decorating cake tools, the closet is really small so I just got a rack and pin all the caracter pans to the wall, here's the picture, I'm kind of proud of my cake closet cause I use to have all my pans under the bed ...

I personally kept mine the same way for a very long time and now that I got them out again they are just fine!! As long as they aren't exposed directly to water I think it is a safe place to keep them.

i keep mine in 73qt storage bins in the attic and im in TX, it gets extremely hot up there, but they are fine.

ups...the pic..

Thanks guys. I wasn't sure if the change in temp would warp them at all.
I wish I had a closet to do that with. It's so organized and neat!!

I keep my pans in a shed outside. I purchased those new big ziplock bags and put several in a bag and hung the bags on nails. Keep them cataloged on the computer and have the bags numbered so I know which ones are in which bag (I did them alphabetically). The 3-D ones I keep in a big plastic tub. Also have big tubs for the separator plates and pillars. Now if I would just get really ambitious and get some cake orders!!!!!!! My daughter does cakes and we share pans. Mostly I got hooked on collecting the character pans. My kids say I'm just a collecting junkie and they are pretty close to being correct. Had to put the pans in the shed as the house is already full of M & M's, Pillsbury Doughboys, antiques, and sports memoralbia. It's a sickness.............

Hi, I've put up Flower Trellisses , you know, those things you use to let Vines grow up on in the garden, behind my doors in the kitchen and storeroom. Those are wasted spaces, the doors don't touch right up to the wall anyway. Got some hooks and hung my pans up there. You dont even see them, if you have the door open. Just another idea, I dislike wasted space, plus when someone does close the door, the wall is decorated

Well my kitchen is this funny L shape, very long. The kitchen door is at least 5 meters from the stove. And I wash them always before use , as well as afterwards anyway, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Great ideas about the bags and the trellis. Unfortunately I don't have kitchen doors. My house is designed a bit weird. No pantry which makes storage really a pain!

Keep the ideas coming. I love hearing them!
