Is there a company hiring 'number' cake tins?

[emc]

Hi

I need to make a number '5' cake for my daughter's birthday - apparently there is somewhere around East D that hires such tins out?

Any info gratefully received.

thanks

Although not ED - this place is great and not too far away. A real aladdins cave of stuff and the ladies there are a great source of advice too.

Much easier to cook an oblong cake and cut it out in the right shape though. Just do a template on a bit of card and cut around. I've a fancy cheese string thing for slicing the cake in half (and then getting layers for filling), if you want to borrow x

I've already sent EMC this link, but in case anyone else out there needs to make a number 5 cake, check out this blog, which gives what looks like brilliant instructions on how to make a 5 from one round cake and one square cake.

Might be a bit late but I have a number 5 cake tim that you could borrow if you wanted - it is lurking somewhere in the cellar but I could dig it out this evening for you.
