hi! you need to measure the base of the tin! if it is circle the measurement will be the diameter (the length of the base) and a square/rectangular tin uses length and breadth! hope this helps!!

Cake Tin Measurements

That only gives you the height of the pan. You need to use a ruler and measure across the middle of the pan. That tells you if it is an 8 inch, 9 inch, etc. For square pans, you measure across the top of each side.

Yeah that's how you would measure but most recipes say to allow an extra couple of centimetres on top of this for the cake to rise etc.

you measure across the top at the farthest distance to give you the diameter of the tin

if its a round tin, its diameter, ie., 9" pie/cake pan = 9" wide. For a square pan, its Length x Width ie, 9" Wide x 12" Long.

Use a tape measure accross the bottom of pan. Use cups of water to measure capacity. (throw water away).
