FAQ
Loose base or fixed base cake tins — which should I buy?+
Loose base tins make turning out delicate sponges much easier and are worth the small extra cost, while fixed base tins are better suited to denser bakes like fruit cake that need a firmer structure.
Do I need to grease non-stick bakeware?+
A light grease or line is still recommended even on non-stick tins, particularly for sticky bakes like flapjack or gingerbread, to guarantee a clean release every time.
