Hi BMF!

How about small bean cans? They're just the right size for cake tins...

That's a great idea, might pinch it

just been lurking, would tuna tins work?

BigMummaF

See! I knew folks would come up with some brilliant ideas:T

The original thought was to make little cakes for elderly rellies/neighbours, so I guess you can chose the size of tin to match the number of people in the home.

It would make a nice 'thinking of you' gift all year round too, wouldn't it:rolleyes: Me muvva lives on her own now, so IF I remember, I'll have a go with something during my next bake-sesh. *goes off to rescue tins from recycling*


Oh we're sooooooooo ggoooooooooooodd!

Hi cookiedough!

Don't see why not - the cakes would just be a bit wider and a bit thinner, I suppose!

Maybe for mini-Victoria sponges?

You mean the thread Sammy_Kaye18 has started?

clrat25

we've looked out the scented oil and pinecones and are going to paint them next week, seal them in bags and take them out at the start of december when they should smell really nice (like the bags of cinnamon scented ones that dobbies charge 12 pounds for)

BigMummaF

There's always a clever !!!!!! around when you don't want one int there Sammy:p But both threads are very enjoyable don't you think?
