What's all this make a triangle rubbish......I just draw round the tin and cut around the circle about a centimetre wider. I don't do the origami.

Me neither  ;D

Yeh, they've made it very fussy and complicated, haven't they! 'Life's too short to stuff mushrooms', as the saying goes. When I make my gluten-free bread, I only line the bottom of the tin, cos the sides come away quite happily with a knife.

I just cut a piece larger than the cake tin, push it into the tin, smooth the sides (after a fashion).  It's a bit creased, which make the sides a bit odd, but what the heck, the cake is OK.  :P :P :P :P :P

Me too, especially with my Christmas cake, put loads of butter, mag to stop it sticking and draw around the tin, the base and the sides, no problem.

I have used that method as thats what they taught us to do at school many moons ago, but for personal preference I use the rim of the tin to draw a circle and like Kea cut it slightly short, then grease the inside of the tin with butter and use brown paper rising approx four inches above the outside of the tin and tie it with string, so no origami for me  ::)

Thought so!!
