Baking Pantry Checklist

Do you often see a recipe you want to try and easily give up because you don't have the ingredients on hand? 

Having a stocked baking pantry is a luxury, but it can also be a necessity if you plan to create tasty baked goods for your friends and family.  The holidays are a great time to have much of this on hand for gift giving baked goods and general entertaining use.
