Hi there,when I recently made gems after not doing so for many years, the recipe I used made too much mixture for my old cast iron gem pan, so I put paper cases in medium sized muffin pans, and the result was absolutely fine.

You can use a mini loaf tin ( 8 cup) however, you wont get the same as in a gem iron as yo need the heat produced by the gem iron to create the "sizzle" when you add the mixture. Try them in the muffin tin first and if the children like them, then progress to the iron.

If she loves ginger you might like to try Annabelle langbeins ginger slice, my grandson is such a fussy eater and didnt think he would like ginger and nearly ate the whole slice, its beautiful.
