Lining cake tins was always a bother and so off-putting in the old days. Not so now, because the makers of silicone or non-stick parchment papers provide packs of base liners and rolls of side lining.
However, having worked our way through the whole range of recipe in this book, we have been totally converted to cake-liners called Bake-O-Glide. They can be rinsed under the tap, dried with kitchen paper and used again, so you never run out – they’re always there like a reliable friend to help make your life simpler.
