Why We Like This Product (Reviewed by the YPC Team)
At our Yorkshire Outdoor Activity Park, this ghost-shaped tin got rave reviews during our Halloween baking masterclass. The cake demoulded perfectly and looked adorable – even better with a bit of icing sugar “dust” or a drizzle of white chocolate. The ghost shape has just enough detail to be recognisable, but not too fiddly, which makes it perfect for kids or beginner bakers.
We also tested it with a buttery pastry base for a ghost pie, and it worked brilliantly. The size is ideal for personal desserts or a shared centrepiece – this is one mould you’ll want to pull out every October.

Tips on How to Use Correctly
Lightly grease before each use to enhance non-stick performance
Place on a baking tray for stability when transferring to and from the oven
Allow bakes to cool slightly before removing to maintain the ghost shape
Clean with warm, soapy water – avoid scrubbing to preserve the coating
Dust finished cakes with icing sugar or cocoa powder for extra definition
Store in a dry space to prevent moisture affecting the coating
