icon_cry.gif I need help! I agreed to do a Cinderella cake and Crown cake for tomorrow. Not realizing I am working 2 doubles this weekend at the hospital and on top of x-mas party last night plus 2 kids xmas parties, I am stressed. I made up all of the icing last night and colored it. I made the cakes this morning, put them on the rake to cool (upside down) and left for 1 hour to pick up kids and etc. The top of the crown would not release and the bottom of the cinderella cake would not release. So, now I need to rebake but I only have one cake box. somehow I need to let the kids get a nap and get to the store. I need to bake tonight and ice the cakes. What can I do to make sure the cake releases?? Any tips to make this process easier and faster I could sure use. I need to get some sleep tonight becasuse I won't get much this weekend. Thanks for listening!![/b]

The only thing I can suggest is to use more cake release, to make sure the cakes release! Also to cool them quicker you could stick them outside if you have a place you know nothing will touch them, such as a enclosed porch! I wish you luck!

I have been told if you leave your cakes in the pan too long the crisco (if that's what you used) starts to cook (or harden?) and it makes the cake stick to the pan. I never leave mine in the pan more than 15-20 mn.

I will spray my pans like those really well with PAM. I take them out of the pans about 15 mins after they are removed from the oven. So far, I've yet to have one stick on me.

I agree that if you take the cake out after the whole cake cooled it will stick to the pan.

Also, if you flip the cake upside down before letting it cool about 15 mins it will stick to the cooling rack too.

Hi there, trying to offer my two cents because I know what stress is like and if we can help our fellow man out to ease the stress, holy cow what a world this would be icon_biggrin.gif
Spray your cooling rack with pam or Baker's Joy, and follow the other ladies instructions on cooling time in the pan. As far as having only one cake mix, can you find a recipe to doctor it up and make more? I love the White Almond Sour Cream cake recipe on this site and you can cut the recipe in half, and still have enough, I think, for what you need. It makes more than just what one box would make. That way you wouldn't have to go to the store? Check it out and see if it helps. Borrow something from a neighbor (eggs, etc.) if you need something small. Good luck! Breathe! And next time, feel free to say NO! Don't we all have trouble in this area? Saying no is so hard! Especially when I'm going to make money out of the deal, but that's MY problem...ahh to live is to learn.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

I know one thing I tend to forget if I'm tired, distracted, overmulti-tasking or have any type of problem or distraction, is to spray my pans down. Slow yourself down a little and you will not make as many mistakes, thereby giving you a little more time. If you make mistakes, they usually end up costing extra time and even worse is extra money. So slow down so you can stop eating into your profit margin! Good luck! You will get through this! Delegate anythig that you can!

If I can't get to my cakes in time I just put them back in the preheated oven for about five minutes and they come right out. I also put a piece of parchment paper between the cake and the rack so they don't stick to the rack while cooling. HTH

Thanks everyone for your tips and just listening. I did get more cake mix and REALLY greased and floured the pans. They released just fine. I was up until 11 pm icing the cakes and then had to be up at 6 am to go to work. I did work my 2 doubles and survived. So, it is behind me. My friend told me the cakes were a hit at the party and everyone asked where she got them. Maybe I can get some business on the side. Thanks again everyone!! icon_biggrin.gif
