i made individual xmas cakes last year but was wary of that lingering tuna smell ,so used the small tins of pineapple chunk tins instead worked just fine
i made sure after washing and drying i lined and then greased them , used a skewer to test when finished cooking . they make great gifts i didnt bother icing them fully , just cut out using the tin as a cutter marzipan and ready roll icing then wrapped in a ribbon to cover the sides hope this helps someone ...now am off to look at the craft thread not ventured on there ...

Wow where do i find the craft thread Please ?

i love the idea of using muffin cases.
how long would u cook them for this way, and what gas mark.

i was going to try in a baked bean tin would i still need to line it with brown paper like u do with a big cake tin.

These look good, this recipe used ramekins to make the cakes.
