How to line a cake tin - the lazy way


I am aware of how completely lazy this idea is, however sometimes my failure at paper cutting in Kindy haunts me and thwarts my endeavours.  This supremely lazy cake tin lining is only suggested for those times when you want to make a cake on the quick-quick and when outer appearances are not paramount.


Grab lots of clean clothes pegs.
Tear off sufficient kitchen baking paper (the nonstick variety) to generously line your cake tin.
Gently prod the paper into place.
Sometimes it helps if the tin has had the tiniest wipe of water prior to inserting the paper.
Prong as many clothes pegs all around the edge as needed to hold in place.
Some minutes later and surprisingly quickly, the paper simply surrenders to it's new shape.
Remove the pegs and pour in your filling.


I always have a supply of pegs in my kitchen drawer (some are still in the laundry!)
Pegs are really helpful around the kitchen and,  regardless of the odd looks from the family, I use them in a multitude of ways to secure items. 

Happy Baking ...
