Wild Flowers Round Metal Cake Tin with Lid

This round cake tin wears a wild flowers print, with a bright posy across the lid and a row of labelled botanical drawings running all the way round the side. On the lid, a red poppy, pink wild roses, a blue cornflower, a golden yellow bloom and sprigs of forget-me-nots gather in a loose circle on a soft cream ground. On the side, foxgloves, bluebells, poppies, cornflowers and more stand shoulder to shoulder, each numbered and named in neat print with its common and Latin names, from Foxglove to Orange Hawkweed. The tin is made of metal and measures 24cm across and 10.5cm tall.

Inside, it is 9cm deep, which leaves plenty of room for a generous round sponge, a fruit cake or a batch of biscuits and flapjacks. We like it on the kitchen worktop, where the flowers bring a splash of colour to a plain corner, or on a dresser or pantry shelf with the labelled side turned outwards so the names can be read. Standing 10.5cm tall, it sits happily beneath wall cupboards, and it is just as handy away from the kitchen as a pretty home for sewing threads, recipe cards or craft bits.

The lid lifts straight off and fits down over the top of the tin, and the inside is left as plain bright metal, so there is no lining to worry about. Weighing 0.336KG, it is light enough to lift down from a high shelf with one hand. To keep the print looking its best, wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly rather than leaving it to soak. For a thoughtful present, fill it with a homemade bake, tie a ribbon round the middle and let it carry on being useful long after the last slice has gone.

What is the tin made of?

The tin is made of metal, with the wild flowers print on the outside and plain bright metal inside, so there is no lining.

Yes. A matching round lid, printed with a posy of poppies, roses, cornflowers and forget-me-nots, lifts off and fits over the top of the tin.

Which flowers are on the design?

The side carries numbered, labelled drawings including foxglove, bluebell, wood forget-me-not, cornflower, orange hawkweed and lesser celandine, each with its Latin name. The lid shows a loose circle of poppies, roses and cornflowers.

How should I clean it?

We suggest wiping it with a damp cloth and drying it thoroughly straight away, rather than soaking it, to keep the print looking its best.

Can I use it for things other than cake?

Of course. Its 24cm width and 9cm inside depth suit biscuits and flapjacks too, or sewing threads, recipe cards and craft supplies around the home.
