I'm feeling bad as I only have one, a loaf tin! But my friend has loads in all different shapes and sizes. Now I never felt bad about this until today when she offered to lend me some. To tell you the truth I'd never even thought that making the same shaped cake every time was boring, but obviously she thinks it is.
So how many different cake tins do you have? And do you use them all? If I were to get some more, which shape would you recommend as being the most useful?

Hi there... I have six cake tins and use only 1 of them for baking cakes, the rest are used for pie dishes, roasts, and other grilling or baking dishes... I have oval tins, round and square, I only use 1 oval tin... The cake looks quiet neat to when its baked and comes out with ease, thats without using baking papers, just butter, for greasing the tin...

I guess this is something I never really thought about, I know I have a few, nothing exciting. Last cake tin I bought were some small loaf tins to go into the small table top oven, for when the large oven wasn't working well.
I guess you have to ask yourself why am I baking? A loaf tin may be more convient for you for storing the cooked cake, where if you were to buy a larger cake tin, you may not have anywhere to keep the cooked cake.
If you are making birthday or celebration cakes, of course there are all shapes & sizes. But again do you really need them??

I have a couple of loaf tins, 2 round, and one heart shape. I use the loaf and rounds fairly regularly but just remembered I had the heart one this past February (after over a year) and used it for Valentine's Day.
They sell an amazing array of different shapes but I'm not sure which shapes I'd get a lot of use out of...maybe an oval/egg, rectangle, square or flower.

Hi GreenMoo, I bake cake only before having family gathering, birthday party or during festive seasons. I would also try to bake one if I have got a new recipe. So far I have three cake tins. One is round in shape, one is rectangular and the other is heart- shaped. Most of the time, I use the round one when baking cake. It is nice to have another cake tin in the shape of a capital letter L.
