Description
This round cake storage tin wears the Garden Birds design, a soft sky blue printed all over with the birds that visit British gardens, each one named in dark, old-fashioned lettering. On the lid, a blackbird, chaffinch, blue tit, goldfinch and wren gather among little white flowers, while a great spotted woodpecker, song thrush and house sparrow march around the sides, so there is something to look at from every angle. It measures 24cm across and 10.5cm tall, with 9.5cm of height inside.
That 24cm width makes room for a generous round sponge, a batch of scones or a stack of homemade biscuits, and the 9.5cm of headroom inside leaves space for a taller filled bake. The lid lifts straight off, so it is easy to open for a slice with afternoon tea and just as easy to close again. It earns its place on a kitchen worktop or a dresser shelf, and the cheerful print looks just as good on a dining or breakfast table when a cake comes out to share. Between bakes, it is equally handy for tea bags, sweets or baking odds and ends.
It is made from tin with a plain silver interior, and at 243g it is light enough to lift down from a high shelf with one hand. It is hand wash only and not dishwasher safe, so wash it in warm soapy water, then dry it thoroughly inside and out before the lid goes back on, as is good practice with any tin. Fill it with a home bake and tie a ribbon round the lid for a gift that is ready to give, or line it with baking paper and keep it out on the side, where its little flock brings a touch of the garden indoors.
