    I always do my coffee and walnut ones as individual ones by baking in a normal tin and using a normal round cutter and they come out great. (well i think so anyway!)

    You could always buy a square/rectangular cutter, less waste then.

    Food tins are too big - each cake should only be a couple of inches across.

    Pilchards and a whole range of other foods come in the narrow tins. :)
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

    why not make two large square cakes and cut out your rounds? then sandwich them? you will get some cake 'waste' but you could use that in trifle.

    Original post was from last year meritaten (don't worry, I've fallen foul of 'gravedigging' on several threads in the last week!)

    Try poundland or 99p shop. I've had some good silicone mini cake molds, miniature cup cake ones

    Use mini baked bean tins, they have a slightly smaller diameter than standard baked bean tins.
