Baking tins (pans) can be used for a lot more than just baking. Here, I’ve used the classic bundt cake tin with a hole in the middle to make an ice lantern, says Karoline.
You Will Need
- Baking tins, a classic bundt cake tin works well
- Decorative natural materials, berries and sprigs of pine work well (optional)
Step 1
Fill an upturned bundt tin with water.
Step 2
If you want, add spruce sprigs or other decorative natural materials.
Step 3
Place the tin outside if it’s below zero or in the freezer and leave until the water is frozen all the way through.
Step 4
When frozen, the lantern can be easily removed from the tin by rinsing it briefly under warm running water.
Step 5
Place the lantern in your chosen outside spot, drop a tea light in the hole in the middle and light when it starts to get dark
