Product Information
Full details
The Purely Home Oak Leaves & Berries Round Cake Tin is an ideal storage solution for home bakers who value both aesthetic charm and functional food preservation. Designed with an Art Nouveau-inspired botanical print, it serves as a decorative countertop centerpiece while keeping your baked goods fresh; however, its metal construction means it is strictly hand-wash only and should be kept away from abrasive scrubbers to protect the delicate printed finish.

FAQs
Is this cake tin airtight?
It is designed as a standard storage tin for baked goods. While the lid fits securely, it does not feature an airtight rubber gasket.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
No, this tin is not dishwasher safe. The high temperatures and harsh detergents can damage the botanical print and the metal finish.
What is the diameter of the tin?
The tin is designed as a standard round cake storage container, accommodating most conventional round sponge cakes.
Is the material food-safe?
Yes, it is designed for food storage, though it is recommended to place a layer of parchment paper at the bottom for easy cleaning.
Will the paint chip off if it gets bumped?
While the finish is high-quality, it is a decorative print on metal. Avoid dropping or striking the tin against hard surfaces to maintain the pattern's integrity.
Troubleshooting
Lid feels too tight or difficult to remove
Ensure the rim of the tin and the inside of the lid are completely free of crumbs or sticky debris, as these can create friction.
Baked goods becoming soft or losing texture
Verify that your cakes are entirely cool before sealing the lid; trapped heat creates steam, which is the most common cause of softening.
Surface looks dull after cleaning
Ensure you are using a soft microfiber cloth and avoid abrasive detergents. Dry immediately to prevent mineral deposits from water from leaving spots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply wash and dry the interior thoroughly before the first use. To maintain the integrity of the white finish and the oak leaf pattern, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scouring pads. Clean the interior with a damp, soft cloth and mild soap, then dry immediately to prevent rust or water spots. While the tin is compatible with most standard round cakes, avoid placing extremely hot items directly into the tin; always allow your baked goods to cool completely on a wire rack before storage to prevent condensation buildup, which can cause sogginess or lead to mold growth.
