Please dont hold me to it..but if you buy a good qualitly tin it will last you a lifetime and you will get good use from it.... I prefer a solid tin ..no loose bottom...but some prefer a loose one..I find the loose ones tend to be thinner...check with Ali not sure if she has the solid ones but she could maybe compare the tow for you..They are expensive but I feel worth every penny.......no more burnt fruit cakes for one you still get browning on the sponge ones but not so much and I always trim my cakes anyway....
Another tin which is actually a loose on and thinner..do find I have to trim a little bit more on depending on wot I am baking..but had my monies worth from is the 12 inch square mutli size tin.. they are about £25 ish pounds but again I can now make every size of square oblong 4 ..6inch squares at a time.....I lOVE this tin..amazing value and mine is now very well used.. Before I had this tin I really only made round as thats all the tins I had I have got a 4,6,8,9,12 inch rounds ..my multisize squaretin..
I have a few wilton tin..101 dalmation, Little Mermaid and faceplate, scooby doo, football tin and wonder mold....
Well thats my tins wouldnt be without any of them......oh and a 6in heart.... It sounds alot but built up over a while...
I do know that you can also now buy a multisize tin for round cakes.......again not cheap but cheaper than buying lots of individual ones but it is a thinner tin just use abit of foil toward the end if you see it browning too quicky..
Right I have probably bored you all with my tin collection..so I will stop now...Hope I havent confused you...if you need anything else just shout

Thanks for the reply's i have seen the invica on ebay and in books but thought they were expensive, i am looking for a oval or petal shape to buy or do you think they are only suited to wedding cakes? My next cake will be for mother's day next month as i only do it for fun, and yes rach i have seen loads of stuff i would like to try may have to remortgage to lol.

Must admit..oval and petal tins are expensive and not really as popular..put it this way I have never used them...you would prob be better off getting your multi size 12 inch square cake tin and the multi round or a few round tins.....If you do want oval or petal hire them..thats what I would do...but it is your decision...u should buy wot ever you feel is best......
Even wedding cakes tend to be round or square..some are a few odd shapes..but for the odd few exceptions again I would hire..just think all the tins in your cupboard especially if not being used....

Thansk rach it would be just the odd occasion i would use one, so perhaps a waste of money, will look out to see if anyone hires them but i bet they are not cheap even that way. can i ask what is a multi size? you mean the one's that come in 8 inch , 10 inch etc..... sorry for being dumb, never bought any before. only sandwich.....

okay Chrissy..my local cake shop hires tins out for 3 days for £3.00 with a refundable deposit so for the odd one it is worth it also build that into your costing of the cake if you know you have to hire a tin out...
The multi size tins the 12 inch square ones are brillant.....you can bake any size of cake from a 1 inch up to a 12inch square or oblong cake....Its great for batch baking as the tin can be split into 4 and you can bake four..six inch square cakes at t atime..brill...
If you want to see a piccy look in Ali shop, under heading multi tins and she has a 12inch multi tin there..and a good price aswell....
Hope that helps
Let me know wot u decide

Hi Rach thankyou for your reply I have got a multi size tin my mother in law bought it for me one christmas years ago. I have used it again and again. as you say really worth having one. Could you tell me if making the 12inch how much mixture would you put in, as I think I make mine too thick.
