After baking, you can allow the cakes to cool for 5-10 minutes in the pan, the flip out onto a cooling rack.

Store in a sealed air-tight container; refrigeration NOT required!

Thank you so much for this info I love it and will never buy Bakers Joy again.  Rose You Rock!

Thank you, I will give it a try, I hate lining cake tins.

Thank you this is awesome. Do you know the shelf life of this? I made this today and it worked great never buying Baker's Joy again.

Can you tell me how to Price cakes. I have never charged for mine. I get to many orders. So I need to charge. Please help.

Used this for a Wilton Mickey Mouse cake pan and it worked brilliantly!  The cake came out perfect.  Thank you!

this stuff is AMAZING for high detail bundt pans!!!  I thought greasing was good enough.. but after using this, i will never go back!!  thought i might use cocoa in place of some of the flour for chocolate cake but it looks great!

I used this for an intricate bundt cake pan today and it released perfectly!  I left the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes and then took it out of the pan to cool. Thank you!!

Do you do equal parts by weight, or just a measuring cup?

I've been using a variation of this for over 40 years!  It's the same except I never added the oil.  Mine just called for flour and crisco.  Bundt cake are a breeze!  Character pans, easy as can be.  It's so easy getting the whole pan "brushed"  You can see if you've missed a spot so quickly.

I really need to start using this on my intricate Nordicware pans.  My question is geared towards the brush you use.  How do you wash them so that they get perfectly clean?  I've had problems before with brushes not feeling totally clean.  Perhaps it was the quality of my brush.  I'm not always fond of silicone brushes.
