Vintage-style stacking cake tins

Posted on | Leave a comment

Stacking cake tinesCath Kidston, Lisa Stickley: we seem to have featured a lot of cake tins recently. But if you like cake, these stacking cake tins have a great advantage – you can store three tiers worth!

Apart from the joy of holding a lot of cake, these tins have got the benefit of some good vintage style. They come in cream covered metal, with either green or red lids. The look is topped off with some matching, not-too-twee, retro typography. For those who are slightly less greedy, they're available as single tins too. 

The set of three stacking tins is available for £35.

Lisa Stickley at Debenhams

Lisa Stickley cake tin

We've featured Lisa Stickley's retro inspired goods for the home previously and now her designs are available on a much wider scale with her new range for Debenhams.

Sometimes referred to as the new Cath Kidston (you can compare and contrast the cake tin above with Cath's tins here), her products are also inspired by vintage florals. Add in a dash of old-fashioned typography, and contrast with black and other bright colours and the results are the finishing touch for a retro kitchen. The range includes everything from milk jugs and cake stands to aprons and oven gloves. 

Prices for the range start at £3.50 for an egg cup with this cake tin costing £12.

Digit cake moulds from Suck UK

Digitcakenew2010

You may remember Suck UK's Salt and Pepper 'Bots from last year. Well, they've come up with a new design also inspired by retro technology: digit cake moulds. There are seven moulds in a set and, when you put the shapes together, you can form 70s/80s digital style numbers or letters (though you could argue they're not too dissimilar to the shapes in the net and ball rug featured yesterday either).

And though they are retro in their look, the baking methods are more contemporary. The moulds are made from silicone which means they are microwaveable. I've yet to test how this affects the taste of the cake, but it does inspire some nice packaging in the shape of old-fashioned looking microwave.

A set costs £10.

As well as this they offer all the teapots, cups, sugar tongs and cake stands for hire that you could want, as well as offering some for sale through their website. There are abundant goodies available on top of this, from bird cages to sweet jars: everything you need for the prettiest possible party.
