Labelling cake tins or cutlery you have loaned.

I will take it in a bag in future. Trouble is it's often still hot so I leave it in the tin.
.I don't think tippex would work. It has solvents in it so shouldn't go in the oven.

I will try to get the rest of my cutlery back although it's a second "set " not all matching.
So perhaps it wasn't obvious. My friend is coming for supper tonight so I will mention it.

I had to buy a new loaf tin today because all 3 of the ones I own are either lost forever or not returned.
I bake a cake/ loaf each week for our community café but I am not always around at clearing up time.

Is there a way of clearly marking the tins whilst keeping them hygienic and oven proof?

Cutlery too can be a problem. I lent 15 of everything to a friend for her party recently but only got half back.

"Hi Emily, Could I have the rest of my cutlery back please? I lent you 15 of everything . Need it for the weekend when the kids come.

Take cakes to cafe in a plastic freezer bag.

I loaned someone a dog playpen (cage) for their new puppy.
They proudly showed me how they had repurposed it into a garden compost bin!
(I still have extra playpen extension segments here in storage 🙄)

For !

Keep a note, stick a label on loaf or cake tins or tupperwares and ask fir them back

That’s a good idea Kitty Typex😃
Tut tut and her a Vicar’s wife too!

Would typex work on black tins?

Why do people do this? I lent the vicar's wife a stairgate 'for the weekend'. They have since moved - along with my stairgate.

I don’t know about labels but can you bake the cakes in paper tin liners and just take that to the cafe?

I write on the base of my tins with black permanent marker - it lasts ages. I sometimes write the size on too.
I don't think I would loan cutlery unless it was some I didn't mind losing.

My cake tins are all black, so that wouldn’t work, but wonder if there’s a white marker?

The best solution would be to turn the cake or loaf out of the tin, then wrap it up in greaseproof paper.

Or am I missing something here?

Neither a borrower nor a lender be!
I can’t think of any way to label a cake tin that unfortunately, I have sticky labelled crockery and trays but nothing that goes into an oven or cutlery.
Tell your friend that 50% of your cutlery is missing.
