Let Them Eat Cake

Start by spraying all the tins with Krylon Primer. It the tins already have a design on them that you are trying to cover, you may need to spray a couple layers of primer. Allow paint to dry between layers.
Once all tins are evenly coated and dry, spray all the tins with the Krylon Satin Bright White. Wait for the paint to completely dry.
Take the extra large, medium and extra small tins and tape evenly spaced vertical lines all around the side of each tin.
Cover the top and bottom of each tin used in the previous step with either tape or newspaper and spray Krylon Gum Drop around the side of each tin.
After the paint dries, carefully remove the tape from the sides.
Finish off with a protective coat of Krylon Matte Finish.
Decorate with fresh or faux hydrangeas or other flowers that align with your color palette.
Display with cake accessories on a table or even on a cake plate or cake pedestal.

Drying time is critical! If the paint is still wet when you remove the tape, it may peel off so in this case, patience is very important
The size and shape of the tins is variable, but try to keep them consistent with each other. If you want to use deeper tins, try to have all the tins be deep. I used round tins, but if you want to create a more contemporary looking cake, you can use square tins.
You can vary the width of the stripes by using wider painters tape or just doubling up on the one you have.
