O.k. I am new to all of this but I needed to share or better yet vent. I had to bake my mom's b-day cake and she loves the DHBR. Against my better judgement I went ahead and added pudding to the mix. Well needless to say it sank in the middle. So no prob I start over. Made a new cake and it looked perfect. Well it totally stuck to the pan and there was no way to save it. Well the third was the charm. I used the Wilton no stick stuff and phew it saved my butt. It took me all day but by golly I got that cake done and it looks pretty good. 
I know how frustrating it is to waste so much time ( not to mention ingredants!!) on a cake that fails. I so heart breaking. 
At least you were finally able to pull it off.....and without going to the store for more supplies. Good for you!
I'm sure she will love the cake and she'll never know how long it took to make it unless you tell her. Mum's the word

Make Cake Balls or even a trifle with the first two failed cakes!
Nothing wasted and a yummy treat is the result!

I agree the wilton pan grease is wonderful, I haven't had a cake stick since I started using it, it gives me such peace of mind, I don't worry anymore about sticking
