What Cakeland bakeware do we stock, and how do you choose a tin or mould?

Cakeland's range covers loaf, chiffon, springform and madeleine moulds in aluminised steel, chrome plating and non-stick coatings, so match the tin's shape and coating to the bake you are making.

Every tin, mould and prep tool on this page is made by Cakeland, the baking brand of Tigercrown, and every fact below comes from what each Kakumei listing itself states about material, coating, size and care. Our maker guide already covers Tigercrown's history and where the range is made, so this guide covers what shapes and materials are actually on the shelf, how the sizes and capacities compare and which tin or mould suits which bake.

What Cakeland bakeware do we stock?

Every product in this guide comes from Cakeland, the baking brand of Tigercrown. As of 2026-09-03 we list 24 Cakeland products under the Bakeware type. Four are lidded loaf tins shaped as a bear, a flower, a heart or a star, alongside a plain rectangular and a plain square loaf tin, both with lids. Two round tins are sized for chiffon cake at 17cm and 20cm. A non-stick springform tin comes in a 15cm and an 18cm size. A small chrome-plated gugelhupf mould, a lemon-shaped madeleine mould and a chrome-plated Christmas tree madeleine mould handle smaller bakes. An adjustable mousse ring, a 25cm Swiss roll tray and a set of three stainless steel cone moulds round out the moulds. The rest of the range is prep and finishing gear: two non-stick rolling pins and a height-adjustable rolling pin, a plastic dough scraper, stainless steel decorating tubes, a reusable cotton pastry bag, two silicone jam spreaders and a silicone-coated fiberglass baking mat. Our Cakeland maker guide covers who makes these tools and where.

Materials and coatings, as the listings state them

Cakeland states a material on almost every listing in this range and it varies by shape. The bear, flower, heart and star bread moulds are all aluminised steel. Our rectangle bread mould uses aluminum-coated steel, while the square bread mould is listed as steel with stainless steel. Both chiffon cake moulds are steel with an aluminum coating. The springform tin carries a non-stick fluorine coating over stainless steel, and the small gugelhupf mould is steel with chrome plating, the same finish as the Christmas tree madeleine mould, whose listing calls it 18-8 stainless steel, chrome plated. The lemon madeleine mould instead uses a baked silicone resin coating over steel. Plain stainless steel appears in the mousse ring, the set of three cone moulds and the decorating tubes. Silicone shows up twice more, coating the fiberglass baking mat and forming the head of both jam spreaders, each set on a stainless steel handle or core. The two non-stick rolling pins are ABS resin, and the height-adjustable rolling pin adds aluminium to that same resin. The reusable pastry bag is cotton with a polypropylene sheet inside, and the dough scraper is plain plastic. We do not currently have a stated material for the Swiss roll tray, so we are not guessing one here.

Sizes and capacities, as each listing gives them

Capacity is the clearest way to compare the tins that hold batter. Our bear bread mould holds 1300ml, the flower and heart moulds hold 800ml each, and the star mould, in the same lidded shape, holds 600ml. The rectangle and square loaf tins both hold 1700ml, and the rectangle tin comes in a medium size marked 1斤 and a large size marked 1.5斤. The 17cm chiffon mould holds 1600ml and the 20cm mould steps up to 2700ml. The 18cm springform holds 1700ml and the 15cm size holds 1300ml. The gugelhupf mould holds 800ml, and the lemon madeleine mould holds 50ml in each of its cavities for 300ml across the whole tin. The mousse ring is adjustable and fits a cake anywhere from 15cm to 18cm across. Away from cake tins, the baking mat measures 380mm by 290mm, the pastry bag is 340mm long under its 14 inch name, the cone moulds run 124mm long and the decorating tubes 35mm.

Choosing a tin or mould for what you are baking

Baking a loaf you can slice needs the rectangle or square bread mould, both lidded for an even top. A shaped novelty loaf calls for the bear, flower, heart or star mould instead, each one also lidded and made to turn out a defined shape rather than a plain rectangle. A chiffon cake wants its own tube-centred tin: Wikipedia's entry on chiffon cake explains that an ungreased tube pan lets the batter cling to the sides as it rises, then holds the cake steady while it cools upside down, which keeps the air bubbles that give the cake its light texture from collapsing. That is the job our 17cm and 20cm chiffon moulds are built for. A cake you want to release without inverting it calls for the springform tin instead: Wikipedia's entry on the springform pan describes a latch that tightens a removable wall around a separate base, a design suited to cakes that cannot easily be turned out. It names cheesecakes and tortes as the recipes that call for it most often. Small, shaped bakes go to the lemon or Christmas tree madeleine mould or the small gugelhupf mould, and the adjustable mousse ring is built for a different job again, holding a round sponge steady while a knife slides through its side notch to slice level layers rather than baking anything itself. The Swiss roll tray, the cone mould set, the decorating tubes, the rolling pins, the dough scraper, the pastry bag and the jam spreaders are the shaping and finishing tools that sit around whichever tin or mould you choose.

Caring for these coatings and metals

Cakeland's own bread and cake moulds share one care line across the aluminised steel, aluminum-coated steel, chrome-plated and silicone-resin listings alike: wash before first use, then clean and dry completely after every use, keep metal scrubbers and scouring powder off the surface, keep the mould out of the dishwasher and keep it away from direct flame or high heat. The mousse ring, in plain stainless steel, carries the same line. The springform tin is simpler again: hand wash only, with no dishwasher mentioned either way. The rolling pins are rated from minus 30 to 80 degrees Celsius and the maker says to keep a scrubbing brush and the dishwasher away from them too. Not everything in the range needs that much care. The dough scraper and both jam spreaders are marked dishwasher safe, so if you want one Cakeland tool that skips hand washing entirely, those three are it. The baking mat, the pastry bag, the cone mould set and the decorating tubes are each marked not dishwasher safe on their own listings, closer to the mould rule than the scraper rule.

How does this connect to the maker and other tools?

Everything on this page carries the Cakeland name, and our Cakeland maker guide covers who Tigercrown is, where the range is made and the seasoning and rust advice the maker publishes for its loaf pans.
