Hello and welcome!! Yup more sheaningans. That's what I do. I got some new pans and of course I had to TRY them out immediately! I was super nervous of course because uhhh LOOK at these things....
day 1Day 1- Here I am. So full of hope and optimism... haha okay. So yeah, I'm all setup... I decided to SPRAY the pans with some non-stick spray but as you will see very soon it didn't go well and it ended in disaster... for a few reasons... Sigh... #1. Did not spray the pans well enough AT ALL. These pans or I'd say any pan with these types of curves need to be sprayed thorougly... I mean almost dripping... in my opinion... I tried the spray and flour thing and I could not get that to work... the flour just clumped all up in the tiny lines and it was just a big nope. I tried that method twice and decided it was a big no for me but if you can figure out how to make that work that's awesome. All the power to you. I'm aware they also make a spray with flour in it... I'm undecided on trying it at this point. Mmm oh boy mistake #2... Ha silly me... well so... I mixed up the dry ingredients for the topping but never added the melted butter... SO... I added DRY topping into the pans first... NOW... had I properly sprayed/oiled/buttered my pans perhaps they still would have come out however, the topping would have still been all dry and they wouldn't have been right... I could have saved them IF they came out full but I still messed up a bit and could have made it more difficult... so just gotta address that little oppsy haha So the results of test #1 were... disaster... day 2Okay so this time... literally the next day... I got my pans all cleaned and ready to go AND I'm adding an extra LOL. Because why not? Maybe I'll have better luck with bigger cakes?? Hahaha I don't know just go with me here because we're going... OH BY THE WAY. We're also doing Science now... Hahaha yeah so since my cakes stuck sooo bad I decided I needed to try out all the methods in which to properly grease these amazingly wonderful pans so that my cakes can benefit from their awesomeness and come out nicely. Yeah I know it was a long walk but I wanted to take it. So anyway I decided to try non stick spray, butter and Crisco. 
I completely slathered them... all of them. And I also apparently slightly overfilled them but ehhh I'll live with that if they just come out of the pans this time LOL. So meanwhile...... I know I didn't show the bigger bundt pans... I sprayed both of them down with the non-stick spray and I didn't end up with as much extra batter as I thought I would so I only ended up with one extra cake... BUT... it came out!! And I was OBSESSED with it LOL. Trust me it had a FULL photoshoot LOL. I was so excited!! Now although this wasn't the original set, I had some success, so that definitely helps things in my opinion. Sometimes you need a win and that was a definitely a win. LOOK how beautiful this thing turned out... omg.. and delicious.. Once I decorated this one it was gone very quickly. Highly recommend. You can find the recipe I used by clicking here. As I'm writing this post I'm sad now because all the cakes are gone. LOL. The texture is so fluffy and wonderful... such a delicious cake. Okay and we're back to the Science. So right off the bat the two that I used *surprise* a truck load of non-stick spray, popped right out... I mean EASY PEASY!!! Okay well... I wasn't expecting that, but I was happy to see it!! Okay so both of the Crisco flowers, I guess we'll call them, haha-- popped out okay... And one of the buttered stars came out but a piece did break off the top... not a big deal.. but still notable for Science purposes. Yes I got carried away with decorating them... I made a huge mess but that's part of the luxury of being a hobby baker. I can make all the mess that I want--- to clean up-- haha.. But look how pretty they are... I even got to box some up for my MIL to take with her on her way to work... They looked amazing in the little treat boxes....
Look at that, can you belive it came out that good?? Well I guess you don't really know the damage I thought I was putting it through but it eventually did come out okay. However... I will probably stick with the non-stick spray for these pans and lots of it.... Look how cute and gorgeous they are... They were definitely worth the work to figure these pans out... And this recipe is absolutely phenomenal... Even if you skip the filling and the topping the cake just by itself is ... AMAZING. Probably one of my favorite cakes to date and I'm going to be using it as the base for lots of my recipes.  Oh yeah I know... Decorating these little cakes is a lot of fun!!! I loved it!! You don't really have to do much and they still look really pretty. They were amazing with strawberries too... This is how Hubby, Jaxon and I finished off the last 3 cakes... I didn't think Jaxon was going to like this cake but he absolutely demolished it. (Idk do most 10 year old's like coffee cake?)  Well. Thank you for stopping by I hope you had fun! What did we learn? I guess when in doubt, lots of non-stick spray!!! LOL idk. I know I plugged this recipe like 3 times but it's not mine so I just want to make sure it's clear that I'm not taking credit for someone else's recipe. Hope you guys understand and I hope you enjoy the cake as much as we did! See you next time! Much Love Amanda I just want to give credit to the AMAZING recipe I used that allowed this entire adventure to happen!
It's probably one of my top favorite cakes now... Find the recipe HERE.
