Lakeland Bread Machine Cake Liner

I have bought several of these reusable liners for my standard baking tins, so was excited when I saw this liner for my bread maker.I bought it for exactly the reason in the product description ie that I wanted to bake cakes in my bread maker with little mess and fuss. However, in my Panasonic SD-255 when you remove the paddle, there is a spindle underneath that the paddle slips onto, but the bread liner does NOT have a hole in the middle to slip over it, so I cant use it!Nice idea, but disappointed.

I also have a Panasonic bread maker and wondered how it would work with the spindle in the middle, so I thought I would just put it in an see what happened, result is a nicely baked cake with a strange shaped base, didn't stop us eating it though, so apart from the shape I am quite happy with the product.

I have a Panasonic 257 and solved the problem of the spindle of just punching a small hole in the liner to fit/. Prior to baking ensure the spindle is greased to facilitate removal and unless you are entering your cakes for competition etc the minute hole does not spoil the cake, certainly better than playing around with paper. My liner was a gift to so now ordering a couple more for the future
