    Stuff4cakes.ie is based in Galway, the lady running the show is lovely. I'd give her a call, I'd say she'd rent them out to you

    This might be helpful

    http://www.kitchencomplements.ie/kc/Main/Category.asp?iCategoryID=201...not rental but good prices

    Decobake is based in Clane

    www.weddingsonline.ie/suppliers-directory/supplier/5401/cakebox/...based in Dublin

    There's a place in Sligo that rents out tins as well but I can't remember the name of the shop. They have an excellent on line shop....the online page doesn't say they rent out tins but they used to in 2010.

    Best of luck to you

    unfortunately stuff4cakes in galway don't do it, i'll have to to to Athlone i'd say. Im looking for a round shaped 16" i think. Its for the bottom tier and the 3rd tier. (its a 4 tier cake) do the tiers usually go down a size of 4" per tier? so if the bottom tier is 16" then the 3rd tier will be 12"? or am i approaching this all wrong? im not sure if thats big enough the top one would be tiny then.. hmm...

    16 is massive! I done a wedding cake and the tiers were 12" 10" 8" 6".

    4" between tiers seems very big.

    ya ur right, maybe 14, 12, 10, 8. Its a big wedding. did you put a structure through the middle? im afraid it might dip with the weight or something weird. I've made novelty cakes before but never tiers. nervous..

    4th: choc biscuit cake
    3rd: hazelnut cake
    2nd: carrot cake
    1st: marbled brownie

    Did you find somewhere to rent a tin?
    Crisdare in Ennis, Co Clare definitely have tins for rent, also they sometimes sell off their ex-rental tins at a very low price, I got a fabulous 14 inch round professional quality tin, perfect condition, for 10 euro last month! Might be worth giving them a call to see if they have any more ex-rentals.
