Every baker owns a round cake tin - but did you know how versatile and hard-working it can be? Tarunima Sinha’s glorious cake creations are the stuff of Instagram dreams. And yet her baking journey started only when she came to the UK from northeast India in 2001, repurposing an 8-inch/20cm chapatti tin from her childhood as a cake tin. Now, as @mylittlecaketin, she has devised breathtaking recipes for everything from Sponges to Lamingtons to Cheesecakes and Friands, all fitting within that most basic of baking items.

In the stunning My Little Cake Tin, Tarunima takes you through every cake recipe you’ll ever need - from reinvented classics and seasonal everyday cakes to beautiful bakes from around the world, dessert-inspired cakes and buttercream cakes, plus a whole free-from chapter. And you’ll only ever need a single tin!
