Calling all baking addicts...

I had a fruitless search in Newcastle yesterday for a brownie pan that doubles up as traybake carry case thingy with lid.

Something like this:

But doesn't have to have the dividers... I really wanted the Lakeland traybake tin/carrier that Gillie had at Gibside for her most delicious traybake offering... but they have discontinued it.

Sooo... in order to make the Hummingbird raspberry cheesecake brownies and all other brownie/blondie/traybake concoctions in that and my new book...

I am looking for recommendations from the experts or at least the dab-hand bakers out there.

I have just seen this on the Lakeland website, but it's rather pricey!

All other bog standard brownie pans I have seen have been too shallow/small for the dimensions specified in the recipes - not that I want to stick to the rules exactly, it'd just rather be nearer the mark.

In other news.... I am happy to report that Marble Slab Creamery is still in Newcastle and was doing a roaring trade yesterday - I had my all time favourite Marble Slab flavours: Birthday Cake, Cotton Candy and of course Bubblegum!

Next time we're up we shall also be checking out the new Pierogi takeaway we spotted on Pilgrim street - Pierogi Place (I know of a certain person who I am sure will be visiting within the week!). If anyone is looking for a more varied Polish dining experience, Gospoda is the place to go - extremely reasonable and delicious Polish food. The weather being what it was yesterday - i.e. glorious - we stuck to ice cream!

Hi nat - when it comes to baking tins etc I always pay top price and expect things to last for ever, well, almost! You could buy 2 other brownie pans and save a bit of cash but always wish you had got the one you wanted in the first place - maybe you could get a 'used' one of the type you really want on Ebay?

Well, the deed was done yesterday - I picked up a very nice sturdy Prestige brownie pan - the exact dimensions required in TK Maxx for a quid less than in Wilkinsons, only a fiver so if it doesn't do the job I won't have lost out too greatly. It was a happy encounter as I didn't go in there expecting to find anything I needed but for the second time TK Maxx surprised me with having something cheaper than Wilkinsons!
