My Kitchen 12 Cup Mini Sandwich Tin

Love this tin, have made mini versions of pretty much all my cakes including carrot, coffee & walnut and lemon drizzle and they turn out perfectly every time.

I have used these twice, The first time wasn't too successful as I overfilled the holes with the cake mix & didn't oil the tins enough so some of the first batch stuck. However the second batch came out lovely. I used the "Wilton cake release" without any of the buns sticking & measured the mix with a potato scoop. The loose bottoms of the tins are a lovely feature & I think worth paying that bit extra for. The recipe I use produces quite a runny batter but didn't have any problem with the mixture leaking out.

My first use of this tin was a disappointment; the victoria sponges stuck to the sides and getting the bottoms off was equally difficult. I read through the reviews, and have adopted three suggestions with vastly improved results: 1- line the bottoms with 1lb wax discs. The bottoms then slide off straight out of the oven with minimum fuss. 2 - liberally grease the pans. I don't have cake release so used butter. 3 - leave for two minutes after cooking then turn out. The results are impressive, but for the price it is a lot of prep. My similarly priced analon muffin tin has never been greased.

I received the mini sandwich tin yesterday and used it for the first time today for individual Mississippi Mud Pies. I absolutely love it! I followed the advice given by other reviewers and greased it with plenty of cake release. I also reduced the cooking time by a third (the recipe I use normally requires a 23cm springform pan and takes 45 minutes in the oven). I left them to cool for a few minutes and then used a tea towel to push them up out of the tin and onto a wire rack. This was easy to do and I am really pleased with the results. I can't wait to experiment with other desserts!

No problems with the tins so far, apart from the price. Cakes did not stick and were well received over Easter. My problem is with the recipes. Firstly, why do they only use metric measurements? Imperial units are second nature to me and I do not have to think about the quantities. Although I can convert them it is an inconvenience. Secondly, there is no temperature for a fan oven. Again, I can allow for the fan, but surely it would not be a problem to include it. Thirdly, the quantities are over generous especially for the mini chocolate cakes.

I love mini spongecakes. More wholesome than a cupcake, more sumptuous than a fairy cake, they're just fab, and all my friends love them. However, every time I make them, I feel devoutly grateful that Paul Hollywood isn't one of my friends, because every time I bake these light little mouthfuls, they get stuck to the tin! Over-filling the pans can exacerbate the problem, but otherwise I've had no joy in finding a cause: the non-stick coating just isn't enough. Is there anything I can do? Or will I have to start greasing my tins?!

These make lovely cakes but I can't wait for you to launch a PushPan version (please, please, please?) so its less fiddly, more fool-proof and most importantly, more fun.

Having bought the tins the first time of using them was a little disappointing. Having been told greasing was not necessary when I turn out the cakes they all stuck. I then contacted Lakeland who advised me to grease the tins before putting in the mixture. My second attempt was far more rewarding. All the cakes turned out beautifully. It restored my faith in the product. I found that using an icing bag to dispense the mixture worked very well. It would be good if Lakeland could develop a straight sided liner suitable for the tins. Have already recommended this item to my daughters.

This is a good quality tin and has a very robust feel about it. I followed the recipe from the Lakeland website for mini victoria sponges and found I had the right amount of batter. The tin holds the heat really well, so getting the cakes out can be tricky and an oven glove and clean tea towel was needed. I loved the results I got and I can see this tin quickly becoming on of my favourites!
