Cake tins

[Guinevere]

I have been asked to make my boyfriend's sister's wedding cake and need to buy some decent cake tins. Can anyone suggest a good make/website?
Also, what dimensions are typically used for 2 and 3 tier?

You could try www.almondart.com for the cake tins, I'm sure they would give you advice on the most commonly used sizes.

www.lakelandlimited.co.uk has loads of cake tins in various shapes and sizes

You don't have to buy the cake tins. Almost every town has at least one 'sugarcraft' shop and most of these offer a hire service. Not only will you save money, you'll also be able to get plenty of free advice to help you make the perfect wedding cake.

The only problem with tracking down sugarcraft shops is that they don't have their own classification in Yellow Pages. There are a couple listed in my local copy, however, (both offering tin hire) under 'Cake Makers & Decorations'.

Hoping this helps,

Chris

Surprisingly your local independant baker will probably hire out baking tins to you, and will probably offer advice on sizes etc.

Best places are Russums and Nisbetts...both have online ordering. Used them for years in the trade, quality stuff and best value by far.
