Where can I find a Beehive cake tin to buy or hire

sethsgran

Hi I am looking for a beehive cake tin, 3D, to make a cake for a get together with the theme of beehives. I have seen some for aroung £24 plus postage but I was obviously hoping to find cheaper, ideally under £20. Lakeland used to do one but don't sell them anymore according to their site

Hire is also fine, I live near Leeds, so in that area would be great


Thanks everyone

I found quite a few places in USA that sells the Beehive Cake Pan by Nordic Ware
Amazon got it for example.
http://www.amazon.com/NordicWare-54537-Platinum-Collection-Beehive/dp/B0017140GQ
and Ebay item number: 380038604710But after you paid the shipping and custom you are probably better of buying it here in the UK for £24 +

hi i make birthday cakes too and at that price you could probably improvise a beehive. If you use a pudding bowl to make the gake you could either use different thickness strips of icing to make the actual behive look on the outside. Or you could cover it all in one piece of icing and then use icing pens to mark out the beehive lines and stick cut out shapes for the door etc, iyswim

How weird - I was looking at the beehive tin on Lakelands website just the other week!
Perhaps contact your local lakeland shop or the main one in the Lakes and enquire if they have one left knocking around ?? just a thought they are pretty helpful

How did you get on sethsgran?

Lakeland have traced one for me in a store down South and it is being sent up to my nearest Lakeland, no aditional cost. Tin is now selling for £15 so that is really good. There is one on ebay but it has been used etc so have decided to pay for the new one

Thanks for asking phunkles

Phuinkles Lakeland came through. The tin was sent from Truro then to Northallerton, the shop that had tract it down. From there it was sent on to Harrogate, my nearest shop. This was all done within 8 days how good is that. It is now safely home with me!! I am currently in the middle of making a table cloth to show it off to it's best. The cloth is about 50" square, diagonally across 1 corner there in an appilqued beehive about 9" high. I have then appliqued 9 bees coming out of the hive with flight trails sewn in running stitch. I plan to also to do a stitchery circle of bees flying round the centre with a big enough space in the middle for the cake stand to be placed. Hope this all makes sense.

It sounds fab, I'd love to see a picture once it's all finished. I'm glad to hear you got the cake tin in the end
