Using molded pans? I got this really cute set of silicone moded bakeware in the shape of 5 different flowers....I sprayed them with spray, but they all stuck anyway. I have also tried to make a care bear cake from a Wilton pan, but that stuck too! I used the spray with flour in it. Do I need to be using straight oil and flour? No spray? And how long do I need to let them cool before I try to remove them? Is there a special way to get the cakes out of molded pans? Thank you so much!

I am not sure about the silicone pans, but the metal novelty pans, Pooh, elmo, etc. should not stick. I use crisco spray with flour in it. I do spray it heavy, bake it, let cool about 10 minutes, trim the top off and turn it out right onto the cardboard. HTH

I made up the pan release, works fine. Oil, shortening and flour in equal proportions, mix together well and liberally coat the pans with it. Nothing else is needed and everything comes out beautifully

I had the same problem. can't remember what I did to make them come out:

either I sprayed a bunch of pan spray in, or

took a pastry brush and got crisco into all the nooks and crannies.

probably the 2nd because I remember the spray really beaded up on the non stick surface.

I do like the wilton cake release. maybe try that.

I guess that pan is just taking up space now.... Oh well.

I have always been told not to spray the silicon moulds as they have a non stick coating. l have baked a zucchini slice in one and it came out really easy, although l havent tried a cake yet!

I like using a baker's spray in odd shaped pans because it's easier to get in all the spots, but I regularly use wilton's cake release because I've never had a cake stick on me that way.

I have one silicone bundt pan and I've had mixed results with it. I finally discovered after seeing an advertisment on tv that you're supposed to peel the pan away instead of just turning it over. Well, that worked MUCH better LOL. I waited ten minutes like I do with all my other cakes.

I have never had problems with wilton's cake release. I have also used a pan grease from the local supply store and did not have problems with that either.
