Description
This round cake storage tin wears the Fruits de Provence print, a cheerful scatter of pomegranates, pears, lemons and apples among leafy sprigs, little flowers and soft pink petals. The pattern runs right around the side and across the top of the lid, set on a warm off-white ground in tangerine, mustard, sunny yellow, mint, deep green, cornflower blue and blush pink. Made of metal, it measures 24cm across and 10.5cm tall, with 9cm of depth inside, which leaves generous room for a homemade sponge, a tray of flapjacks or a batch of biscuits.
It belongs in the kitchen, whether it sits out on the worktop beside the kettle or waits on an open shelf or in the pantry until baking day. The bright fruit design brings a splash of colour to a plain kitchen and suits a farmhouse dresser just as happily as a modern shelf. Beyond cakes, it is a handy home for scones, brownies, shortbread or a loaf of banana bread, and it is equally useful for keeping baking bits together, from cupcake cases to sprinkles and cookie cutters. Because the print covers the lid, it looks good from every angle, whether stacked or set on a low shelf.
The lid sits over the rim and lifts off easily, and the inside is plain bright metal. At 336g it is light enough to lift down from a high cupboard with one hand. It is not dishwasher safe, so hand wash it in warm soapy water when needed and dry it thoroughly, inside and out, before the lid goes back on. Line the base with baking paper for sticky bakes and the tin keeps cleaner for longer. Fill it with a homemade bake and tie a ribbon around the side for a gift that stays useful long after the last slice has gone.
