Description
This rectangular fairy cake tin carries the Wild Flowers design, a cheerful botanical study of wild flowers set on a soft white ground. Red poppies, blue cornflowers, pink foxgloves, bluebells, cowslips and dog roses spread across the lid, each one numbered, with a printed key along the lower edge naming every flower in English and Latin, much like a page from an old field guide. More single blooms run all the way around the four sides, so the tin looks finished from every angle. It is made of metal, measures 27cm long, 19cm wide and 6.5cm high, and the lid lifts straight off to reveal a plain silver interior.
In the kitchen it makes a pretty home for a batch of fairy cakes, cupcakes, flapjacks or biscuits, and at 6.5cm high it suits small bakes laid in a single layer rather than a tall sponge. Its flat lid lets you stack it with other tins on a shelf or in a cupboard, and it looks just as at home left out on a dresser or worktop. Away from baking, the same tin keeps sewing notions, seed packets, recipe cards, letters or craft supplies tidy in one place.
The tin is made from printed metal with softly rounded corners and a neat rim where the lid sits, and it weighs 0.328KG, light enough to carry from the kitchen to the table when the cakes come out. To keep the print bright, wipe the outside with a soft damp cloth and dry it straight away, and wash the inside by hand rather than leaving it to soak, since metal is happiest kept dry. For a present, fill it with homemade fairy cakes or biscuits and hand it over just as it is; the flowers do the wrapping for you, and the tin stays useful long after the last crumb has gone.
