We show you how to line round, rectangular and loaf tins with baking parchment.
Points to remember
Always pre-grease your tins.
For a springform round tin, measure around the base of the tin with a pencil to get an accurate fit with the paper.
To line the sides, use the offcuts from cutting out your base. Fold the strips of paper at the bottom and snip on a diagonal to get a fanned effect that will sit neatly in the tin.
For a loaf tin, use your pencil to mark out a strip that's longer than your tin so the paper acts as handles when getting the cake out.
You can also line the sides if you want to be extra careful, cutting out two strips and folding down the corners.
