Cheap novelty cake tins let would-be pastry chefs create special cakes that look like they’ve been shop-bought – with the amount of fuss you’d normally associate with, well, going to a shop and buying one. When you’ve got cheap novelty cake tins to hand, baking a fancy cake in the shape of – say – a haunted house, becomes as hard as making up a simple sponge mix, greasing your cheap novelty cake tins and whacking the lot in a medium oven for 40 minutes. Even cheap novelty cake tins are treated with heat-dispersing coats, so the cake comes out evenly baked and ready for icing.
Some cheap novelty cake tins we discovered after a quick trawl across the web: the haunted house (mentioned above), which comes complete with ghosts and fun crooked windows; cars; Batman; assorted kids’ TV characters; and the rather wonderful “Backyard Bugs” cake. All cheap novelty cake tins that let mum or dad whip up a truly stunning-looking birthday sponge in less time that it would have taken to go down the shops and get one ready-made. Cheap novelty cake tins have the added bonus that the receiver of said cake knows it’s home-made, which of course is a bit more special: and if you don’t tell them you used cheap novelty cake tins to make that secret agent’s lair cake, they’ll think you’re a genius into the bargain. Never let it be said that we don’t want to impress our kids – even if we are only doing it with cheap novelty cake tins!
