Description
This little cherry cake storage tin is a round metal tin with a fitted lid. It is printed all over with small clusters of red cherries on a soft pale pink ground. Each pair of cherries hangs from a slim stalk with a leaf or two in deep green. The print is scattered evenly around the sides and right across the lid, so the pattern looks just as pretty from the top as it does from the side. Inside, the tin is left in plain silver metal. It measures 24cm across and stands 10.5cm tall with the lid on, with 9cm of depth inside.
That 24cm width takes a round sponge, a tray bake cut into squares or a generous batch of homemade biscuits. The 9cm inside depth leaves room to layer cookies with baking paper between them. It sits happily on a kitchen worktop, a pantry shelf or an open dresser, where the cherry print brings a cheerful touch of colour between bakes and keeps the counter looking tidy. We also like it away from the kitchen. As a round home for sewing threads and buttons, craft bits, letters, photographs or small keepsakes, it looks just as at home on a bookshelf or a dressing table.
The tin is made from metal with the cherry pattern printed on the outside. The lid lifts off and presses back down over the rim. It is not dishwasher safe, so hand wash it only. Wash it in warm soapy water, then dry it thoroughly with a tea towel before the lid goes back on, which keeps the metal at its best. A soft cloth rather than a scourer protects the print. For a gift with a little extra thought, fill it with a home bake or a batch of shortbread before you hand it over, so the tin becomes part of the present and stays in use long after the last slice.
