As much as we might be trying to deny the fact that Christmas is on the way, truth is there are only 39 days to go.
Dotcomgiftshop has long been a go-to place for buying Christmas gifts, with their fantastic range of unique and often vintage style wares to suit every one and every budget.
When they got in touch with me a couple of weeks ago offering to send me some cake tins I was delighted. You know I love baking. And I needed new tins. And I love dotcomgiftshop. It would have been downright stupid to say no. Right?
I’ve been saving writing this post until I’d had a chance to bake something to go in the tins
(here)
Today I finally had a chance, and whipped up a ginger cake to pop inside.
These tins, at £35 might not be cheap but what I really love is that you can use just one of them, or two, or all three. They also look pretty without being gaudy (as a lot of the tins I’d seen in shops were) and have the vintage feel that I love.
I don’t think the cake is going to last very long in the tin. It’s SO good. I had some whilst it was still warm from the oven. Delicious!
Check out dotcomgiftshop and their extensive selection of gifts for all. There are new arrivals every week, as well as special offers and extensive gift guides to help you find your perfect present.
What is your favourite piece from the site?
This is going on my wish list!
Bonus, random outfit photo from first thing this morning when a bleary eyed Mum played photographer.

I’m so jealous, they are gorgeous. I’ve been making ginger cake too, it didn’t last long!
I have that dress hanging un my wardrobe waiting for me to fit in it again! xxx
Gosh, that cake looks divine and I love the tin, too.
Great outfit today. You are looking so pretty and loving the zingy yellow against the dove grey. xxx
Ooh they’re lovely! I find cake tins a bit of a tricky purchase as they’re usually very very pink, but those ones are really nice and simple.
Cake recipe pretty please!
I think I need these in my life! I have a list as long as my arm of baking things I want, including tins! It’s so addictive isn’t it! The cake looks so delicious, I haven’t decided what to bake this week …but you may have just influenced my decision xx

Mmmmm ginger cake and custard on a cold afternoon is one of my very favourites. I love the tins too they are lovely, but out of my price range with Santa on the way!

Fantastic cake tin. Really need to get some new ones myself but they are possibly a little steep for me. Lovely outfit, the tights really draw out the colour in the dress. x
