Buy a rectangle pan or cut end off square?

[StickyGripper]

Apologies for a really basic question.
I need to make a birthday cake and it needs to be rectangle shape as it is a Tardis.
With regards to the best possible bake outcome, do you think it is best to use a rectangle pan or buy a big square one and cut the edge off?

I have this tin which is fantastic.

To be honest if you're covering the cake with buttercream and fondant it won't make any different whether you make a rectangle cake or chopping bits off a square one.

Happy baking!

You should chop down a square cake so you can scoff check the offcut. Best way of ensuring it's cooked properly.

Purple, that is just what I need and I am actually just off to Lakeland right now! I need to watch my storage space and seem to be doing more and more baking so that will be very handy.

Thanks everyone.

I feel like I should be paid commission from Lakeland-I've recommended that tin to so many people! It really is good too. The only thing to remember is you have to pick it up from the bottom. I forgot once and had a nightmare trying to get the frame back over four not quite cooked 6in square chocolate sponge cakes.

Have fun with your Tardis!
