    Does anyone use the silicone moulds as opposed to traditional tins?

    I ask this as I was in search of some tins that will produce a spherical cake - ie you bake something that looks like half a ball, then bake the other half and stick them together, cutting a bit of the bottom to make it stand. I have found them on sale in the UK, but only in a silicone mould. Never used them before. What are your experiences? x
    I have had many Light Bulb Moments. The trouble is someone keeps turning the bulb off :o

    Silicone moulds are FAB - I'm in the process of replacing all my traditional metal stuff with silicone thanks to some Lakeland birthday vouchers. Highly recommended!

    I have used the butterfly shape one for a quiche as I couldn't find a dish deep enough and a teddy shape one to make a sponge. I have resisted using these before as I didn't like the idea but found these in the pound shop and they were ok.
    Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.

  • I have silicon loaf 'tins', large round cake mould and muffin trays and individual cases - LOVE THEM.

    I got a few from Lidl last year and they've been great. One of the loaf pans kept sticking at one corner, that corner felt 'different' to the rest so I took it back and they replaced it, no questions :)

    When these finally wear out I will invest in some of the 'better' ones when they're on sale.

    Was in a local ASDA and they were selling them for 2 for £5.
    Completely agree that they are the way to go.
