Parchment Paper Help Getting Cake Out Of Pan
Decorating By HIPrincess Updated 12 Jul 2008 , 4:57pm by JenniferMI
I am making some heart wedding cakes and need help getting them out of the pan. I have heard that you can trace a parchment paper of the shape of the pan and lay it in the bottom of the pan, after you have greased it with solid vegetable shortening and then put shortening on the top of the parchment shape as well. Anyone ever done this? I have one flopped cake on my hands and have to have a sure fire way of getting these out of the pan...I am running out of time. 
Also, ribbon on a cake...how do you secure the ribbon on the back side after you put it around the cake.
TIA!!!!
I usually do it that way. I'm sure there are many who don't but it was what I was taught and it works every time so why mess with a good thing? 
I spray the pan then put a parchment circle in and spray again. I cool the cakes in the pan for 5-15 minutes depending on the size of the cake and they pop right out.
You can use wax paper, too. No grease necessary at all!
