Hey, girl! I love baking and cooking! Mise en place is the trick. It may take a while if you have challenging disorganization (which BMO and I do), and you might have a ton of stuff fall out of the cupboards at you, but getting mise en place (or everything you need for the task set out and in your workspace before beginning) is so helpful.
Then, I have a set cupboard for baking ingredients (anything that would actually go in the mixing bowl). When I start making more stuff at a time, like during the holidays, I get 15 gallon totes and put a clear garbage bag and fill it with flour or sugar. In the flour, put three bay leaves (they keep the meal worms and other bugs away).
In terms of supplies, I haven’t gotten my organization set yet. I try to keep all of my stuff in one place, but I haven’t gotten there yet. Currently, I’m planning to try and set up a wall of hanging materials, like measuring cups, cake levelers, metal spatulas, etc. As of right now, they’re spread all over my kitchen and it’s a pain in the ass.
I’d love to talk more, if you wanna DM or BMO! Either way, the only thing I can say is, don’t try to force a neurotaypical brain into a neurotypical organizational system. It’s debilitating and so discouraging. If you need to buy furniture or containers or bins to help, and that takes up all of your counter space, then that’s fine, so long as it makes sense to you!
