Labelling cake tins or cutlery you have loaned.

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.

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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

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

For !

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 🙄)
