Cake tin liners

whitesatin

Wow, some great advice on here, I knew I could rely on you. I am going to explore each one, seek out the Poundshop and Asda ones to try and basically experiment with all your ideas.

polkadot, I love that website you gave the link to. Thanks.

So, once again, thanks all. I can see lots of baking on the horizon.

Now, I might just ask for advice on a calorie free cake, lol.

I just use a non-stick, springform cake tin.

I don't grease it or anything, as I find the non-stick coating, and the butter in the mix, prevents sticking well enough.

I've used the poundland etc. type variety before and they're fine, much easier than using greasproof paper and messing around cutting it up

I am not very good at making cakes but I do try. They always end up burnt, especally the fruit ones. Anyway, after my latest disaster where I lined the base but only greased the sides of my tin, I decided to try and find liners which go up the side too, like a big cup cake paper really.

Lakeland have some silicone paper ones which I am interested in. I have cake tins 23.5cm, 20cm and 18cm and would, ideally, like liners for each size. They seem to come in 20cm or 18cm from Lakeland and they are not cheap.

My question is, has anyone tried using these and also, do you know anywhere I could purchase a pack of mixed sizes?

I know I could cut out circles and rectangles and do it myself but they seem like a good idea.

I generally cheat and use Dr. Oetker's cake release spray. It does an excellent job for cookie trays too. For fruit cakes I use parchment paper and the spray to adhere it to the tin. Also pound shops are good for supplies such as this too. Hope that helps :A

Oh that's an easy one...

1) find a partner with a sweet tooth
2) allow him to work from home
3) bake cakes at night just before bed and leave to cool overnight
4) have something else other than cake for breakfast
5) arrive home from work to find that there's no cake left
et voila - zero calories for me :rotfl:

I've now switched to baking the low calorie cake - do step 3 earlier in the day so I can get a slice before the rest evaporates. At least that's what he says happens to it.

The Range do packets of them and they seem to last for ages .I have had some in the cupboard for ages,but I'm still using my greaseproof paper roll which I cut to fit my tins at the moment so can't really say ,although I have used the loaf shaped ones for lemon drizzle cake and they are very good

If you can't be bothered to cut baking parchment or grease proof. Then get your piece of baking parchment or grease proof paper screw it up in to a tight ball, flatten it out again. Now you have a piece of paper which will mould to the shape of you tin circle or square. It behaves a bit like foil once it's been screwed up. I got that tip from James Martin on Saturday kitchen.

I have some mini baking parchment rolls (to go around the height of the tin) that have lasted me ages but I also have the silicone type where I just bought the sheets from poundland and cut up the sizes I needed.
For a loaf tin, you can cut a rectangle of it and slit up the corners to fit.

I got some round tin paper liners from poundland or home bargains ( a cheapy shop anyway), which are okay but they don't fit my tins exactly, I'm never really sure which size to use! And they're not really cost effective for me to want to buy them again.

If you've got an hour to spare you could draw round the bases of your tins, and cut out several liners in one go. Store in polypockets - ones labelled with tin sizes if you've done loads or have lots of different tins, maybe in a recipe binder or book. Well, this is what I plan to do, but it sounds way too organised for me really

If you've got some of the bigger paper liners - cake tin size - you can use them to make giant chocolate crispy or cornflake cakes or other 'fridge' cakes!! They're just big versions of fairy cake cases after all!!
