Get the frosting as COLD as you can -- handling it in the pastry bag makes it warm and mushy and it will tend to run or droop

Hi, I bought and used this pan. Love t. To let you know I you use fondant the cake should be delivered or used that same day. I found that it will slip down. I also kept mine in the fridge to keep it firm. I worked somewhat. My problem was that the people changed the deliver date by 2 days so it slid. I also followed the directions to coat the inside the old fashioned way. Crisco and flour. It came out perfect. I hope this helps. Sandi

Im not sure. Its very difficult to get the cake out everytime even when I line it with oil. I havent had a successful whole cake piece come out of this pan its a great cute idea but doesnt come out well

Use regular cake mixes and reduce cooking times to that of mini cupcakes. Coat the pans well otherwise the cakes will stick.

Did you use Swans Down Cake flour, if not I think it is under cooked and too much oil. I always use butter or Crisco vegetable oil. Some times the temp. of you oven can cause this also. I had this happen to me with a new pan which was heavier than the one I normally use, the next time I used the pan I lower the heat from 350 to 325 and it came out okay. Hope this will be of some help to you.

Be careful how long you bake the cake. That could be why it is dry for you. I really like this cake.

I plan on buying this to replace my old one. I use it to make a bunt cake and I feel that the cake come out just perfect in this kind of pan. There will always be some sticking but a new one should stick less and u just need to use a bit of butter to grease it NOT butter and then flower (like if u have an old one that is worn out)

The answer is this item is too large & to heavy. The cake I made he was standing next to the cake due to the size of the item. I hope this helps.

I bought the 12" and my cake stuck. I had to put butter and then coat it with flour and that worked. Hope that helps

I used only on the regular fondant and It worked only the first time and the rest was a mess. And I used a satin fondant one of the best.

it will not turn the buttercream silver. even if you used the whole thing. I used it to add shimmer to a ann. cake but that's it. I tried to paint it on my piping and it just looked grey.

Very carefully.I use buttercream or frosting to 'stick' the cake to the cake board and so far I've had no issues at all and I've made and transported several of these. On one occasion I wasn't too sure since I had a lot of topping so I inserted long wooden kebab sticks through the cake from top to bottom, once I'd reached the party I pulled them out and stuck sugarpaste flowers over the holes, if the topping allows this then its a good way to put your mind at ease I also buy a cardboard cake box the same size as the cake board so there's no movement there.Like I say, fingers crossed I've had no issues so far.

I just made a chocolate cake in mine using 1 box of cake mix, it came out great, but, I thinknext time I will use 2 boxes to make it higher. it is a deep pan.

I have sprayed the pan with non-stick spray before putting in the dough. If needed, after the cake has cooled, you can nudge some corners loose with the handle end of a fork or spoon until it's all loose.

have not used this myself, bought for a gift. however, i think fondant would not be suitable for covering these. perhaps candy melts in the colors you want would do what you were hoping to do.
