Where do I start? I have a birthday party this weekend that I am doing the cupcakes for. Right! Well I didn't just want to do cupcakes. I wanted to try out my new Giant Cupcake Mold from Wilton. Well any time I try something new. I always do a trial run. Plus you best believe that if I even try to forget to test it out first. My dear hubby will make sure that I do the test run. He doesn't want to deal with the tears and complaints later.
So tonight I decided that I would try out the new pan. Well guess what it didn't work out for me! So I am asking anyone who may have tried this pan to let me know how you came out with that perfect cupcake. Or if you had problems. I would love to hear about it so I know that I am not alone. I mean how hard could it be right? Make the batter pour and bake. Well luckily I listened to hubby this time because the pan wanted to cause me problems. Now I know what your thinking I didn't grease the pan. Well I did. I greased that pan so good with spray it should of slid right out like it always does when I make any other type of cake.
Well that pan wasn't going to let go without a fight. Look what that darn pan did to my cupcake.
I was tapping,massaging even talking to the darn pan. But nothing! I used a pound cake recipe. Not the one that comes with pan but another. I figured the weight would have pulled it out good. But now I was literally fighting with this pan to let my darn cake go. It is Tuesday time is running out. I have a vision of what it is all supposed to look like. But right now that vision is shattered. Help me please.

Maybe try Wilton's "Cake Release"? I have used that with success on many a pan. Or perhaps grease it with shortening/flour it and then line the creases with parchment paper and then regrease it? I don't know how well that would work on a giant cupcake pan, but it's worth a shot! :) Good luck!
ReplyDeleteCakedreamer Thank you! I think doing the parchment would take a lot of work. But I never tried the cake release since I always used pam. Figuring it is the same thing. But hey I am running out of time and I have to try what I can. I am not going to let this pan get the best of me.Hopefully by the end of this week I can post the finished product.
ReplyDeleteThat stinks...I have made this cake before, but I used shortening and flour and it came out perfect. I would have thought that Pam spray would work great...who knows...sorry about that!!
ReplyDeleteCookies and Cups thanks for dropping by. I will have to try the shortening and flour. I have just never used that technique and as you stated I would have thought the Pam would have worked since it is what I have used on all my cakes. My way didn't work so on to the next way.
ReplyDeleteI used this cake pan and had no problems with it. Have you tried it again since this? I used flour crisco spray. its like normal butter sprays but it has flour in it too.
ReplyDeleteQueen,
ReplyDeleteNo I have not tried again. But will be in a couple of weeks for my nieces birthday so I hope it comes out.
