Four tuna cans , 3 inch width will make four delicious small cheesecakes.

“Baby Cakes by Anne Yohn”, has recipes for baked BabyCakes and Refrigerator BabyCakes plus toppings. A great variety of flavors!!
I collected eight cans and doubled the recipes. Yum.

The artful crafter website has pretty pincushions made from tuna cans.

I would have to agree with Cipollina and Bobbie! They will make great maxi tea lights and seedling pots.

Another thing you can use them for is organizers for the craft room, or if you like to refinish furniture and mix your own paints, they will make great reuseable paint cans! ;)

Screw four of them on a weathered plank – driftwood would be excellent – and you got a lovely rustic advent candle stick for maxi tea lights.

I have a cookbook called Goddess in the kitchen. One recipe is for-I think-something called babycakes. You used the well cleaned cans to bake mini chocolate cakes and stack them. It was very decadent.

Crumpet rings! If you cut both ends off, and ensure they aren’t sharp, they work well for crumpets, English muffins, and similar baked goods. Works just as well for similar cans, like water chestnuts. Got that from Alton Brown’s eggs benedict episode. It works well!

Put three under a large pot and use as pot “feet”.
