"Neat little tin" star star star star star_border I bought this tin a while ago but only used it for the first time recently. No problems apart from the recipe which comes with it. It overflowed the tin spectacularly, all over the oven floor but as the oven floor was covered with Lakeland oven protector, this didn’t pose too big a problem. Still had to clean the shelf though. Next time I will just use the old 4x4x4 2 egg recipe. But for that I would have given it five stars.
"How did I manage without it?!!" star star star star star We all love Battenburg cake -this tin is perfect and so easy to use. I greased the floured the two ends, then used baking parchment to line the rest all in one piece (8" x 18"). Tip - use disposable piping bags to fill the tin - is saves a lot of time and mess! Wonderful result first time! A classic Battenburg has almond flavoured sponge so I used almond extract instead of vanilla support_agent A note from the team Thank you for placing your review.

"Silverwood Battenberg Tin" star star star star star Versatile and durable, the Silverwood Battenberg Tin is easy to use and the perfect size to create a very delicious and satisfying family favourite cake. I highly recommend this particular brand stocked by Lakeland. Jag
"It's a BIG cake!" star star star star star_border When I saw this in the shop I thought it was a bit small, but it's a tardis and surprisingly big when it's assemble! It's a shame this tin won't go in the dishwasher (only reason for not giving 5 stars) but Silverwood is good quality bakeware so if it's anything like my other Silverwood tins it will last for years if look after it. Making the cake is a bit of a fiddle but looks v good. I put rec amount of pink food colour in half of mix to get the checkerboard effect, but need loads more next time as little contrast colour.
"Great tin." star star star star star If you love b-berg but have never managed to nail it using loaf tins, this is the answer. The review from Ms Deacon says the recipe is bad. It's a classic Victoria Sponge recipe (6/6/6/3) which requires a bit of skill. If you don't have the know-how, an all-in-1 sponge using margarine will be more foolproof. The reason it's too much mixture is so you can cut it off to a completely flat finish. She's right that the resulting cake is larger than the piddly little pre-packaged ones from the supermarket, but surely that's a good thing? There is no such thing as a "standard" battenberg cake size! :)
