Types of Cake Tins
There are many different types of cake tins available, each with its own unique purpose. Here are a few of the most common types:

- Heart-shaped cake tins: Heart-shaped cake tins are a fun way to add a touch of romance to your baking. They’re perfect for baking cakes for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, or any other special occasion.
- Springform cake tins: Springform cake tins have a removable bottom, which makes it easy to remove the cake from the tin without damaging it. They’re perfect for baking cakes with delicate toppings, like cheesecakes and mousse cakes.
- Tube cake tins: Tube cake tins are tall and narrow, with a tube in the center. They’re perfect for baking sponge cakes, pound cakes, and angel food cakes.
- Loaf cake tins: Loaf cake tins are rectangular and have a short depth. They’re perfect for baking banana bread, zucchini bread, and other quick breads.
