I learned about this the hard way!! I made a cake in my 9" pan before, and it turned out great, then I bought a new set of 3 springform pans, went to bake a cake in one of them, and realized half my batter had leaked all over the counter! I'm afraid to try it again after that experience.
I have 8 springforms pans and they are all I use. I have never had a problem but I've always cut a round of wax paper to cover the bottom. They are dream to cool and release.
Thanks to you all. I think I'm going to use the spring form with the wax paper. I'm going to try a 3 tier with a "Finding Nemo" theme for my son's second birthday. -And with fondant. Do you think I'm taking on too much for my first cake? I usually take on a big project and then I ask myself......"what did I get myself into???!!" I'm excited I looked all through this site and everyone give great tips! THIS IS A GREAT SITE!!
Thanks lemondrop! That would've been quite interesting if I used wax paper aye? -And, thanks for the boost Susan 
I always use wax paper and have never had it melt. I spray the bottom with non-stick spray to secure the wax paper then grease and flour (or brush with cake release) the wax paper and the sides of the pans.
If you have time, do a couple test runs with smaller pans. I've sprayed both sides and it was still fine. I would just do a test to see what works for you. My Mother In Law had a cake business and she's the one that told me to use the wax paper. She aslo told me to use cocoa instead of flour when greasing chocolate cake pans. I never would have thought of that!
If you try the wax paper and springforms, let me know how it turns out for you!
