Once upon a time,
there were only two kinds of cake tins: circular, or, if you were lucky and
determined, rectangular. Cakes were boring, and baking even more so. Not any
more, though! No longer do bakers have to content themselves with simple
shapes; with the novelty cake tins
available today, anyone can make and decorate a masterpiece in their own home.
It was the
lightweight and sturdy yet modest aluminum tin that caused a cake revolution,
adding some spice to every occasion with custom shapes. Having a child's
birthday party? Bring out a cake of their favorite cartoon character or
superhero, a NASCAR cake for the racing enthusiast, and more!
Special Tins
Novelty cake tins come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including
but not limited to: animal cracker shapes; a baby's feeding bottle; teddy bears
in various professions; sports themed tins; cutesy animals like bunnies and
butterflies; tiaras and flowers; dinosaurs and carriages; castles and
spaceships. Stores on-line offer a far greater variety of novelty cake tins than one can imagine: if you can think it, there
is probably a cake tin of it out there somewhere.
Special Occasions
Thanks to the
Internet and mass production, novelty
cake tins are available for all kinds of occasions:
• birthdays
• anniversaries
• Valentine's Day
• graduations
• retirements
• christenings
• baby showers
• engagements
One occasion that
is always in dire need of a special cake is a wedding. Through patience,
creativity and some select few novelty
cake tins, it is possible to create a custom cake to replace the
traditional - and boring - multi-tiered white wedding cake with little dolls of
the couple on top. Not only does this reduce the expenses of the day, it also
allows for a custom wedding experience!
With a little bit
of innovation and dedication - and the right cake tins, of course - it is
possible for anybody to bake a fantastic work of art in their very own home.
Alternative Uses for Cake Tins
One thing that few
people consider is the alternative uses for novelty cake tins. Your childhood home was not overflowing with
tins just for cakes, you know! Cake tins have many other uses as well:
Jelly
and Pudding Moulds
Just as they are used as cake moulds, so too they can be used as jelly and
pudding moulds in order to get fun treats in all shapes!
To Make
Cookie bowls
how does one make cookie bowls, you ask. Simple! Just take any deep cake tin,
whether it is one large one or many small ones, flip it over, and spread the
cookie dough evenly across the flipped-over base. Pop it in the oven and out
will come a custom cookie bowl in the shape of the mould!
To
Assist in Icing
Some novelty cake tins are hollow,
resembling a cookie cutter - meaning that they have no base, and are meant to
be used with a regular, flat rectangular or circular base, with the tin itself
only holding the cake together around the sides. Such tins can be used to make
icing.
