Piñata Ball Shaped Cake Tin With Secret Filling 1 "Not fit for purpose." Mrs Borowski 30 July 2015 I bought the cake tin from the Chelmsford store to make a piñata cake for my daughter's birthday. The sponge came out dry and crumbly and was difficult to remove from the tin despite being greased. The coating from the tin flaked off and stuck to the cake. It then collapsed when I tried to assemble it so the birthday cake ended up in the bin. I usually love the things I buy from Lakeland but this was a real disappointment. A note from the team We're sorry to hear you've experienced this problem and have been disappointed with this cake tin.We can see there have been some successes and customers have kindly provided feedback where this advice was shared: used butter substitute and flour as an anti-stick on the mould - Perfect result.My advice is just to follow the instructions provided. Our regular bakers swear by Cake Release ref 4198 - we'll be in touch soon to help.
Piñata Ball Shaped Cake Tin With Secret Filling 5 "A Brilliant Buy" Miss Danks 02 November 2016 I was a little hesitant of this tin after reading a review saying that the cake had stuck. However, after using the tin on several occasions, I have had absolutely no problems with cake sticking. In fact, they come out really easily. I grease it with butter (not margarine) and duct with flour - just as I would with any other cake tin. I love that I can use the tin to make cakes for so many different occasions, from birthdays to Christmas and other celebrations. And it never fails to get an "oooh" from the gathering crowd when the cake gets cut into!
Piñata Ball Shaped Cake Tin With Secret Filling 5 "Perfect cakes" Miss McAdoo 31 August 2015 I have so far made 3 piñata cakes using this pan. I used the cake release from Lakeland and also put a circle of grease proof paper in the bottom of the pan to help the cake come out of the pan. I have also done my own recipe for the cake - 250g of butter, sugar and self raising flour, 5 eggs for the top cake and the same for the bottom cake, just instead of 250g of self raising flour, 125g of plain flour and 125g of self raising flour. This just makes the bottom cake a bit more solid! Hope this helps people with the cake tin!
