Solution to cake stuck in the pan!!!

I have not had a chance to test this out, but, hope it works.


Maybe you forgot to grease your cake pan. Maybe you simply greased it improperly, with the wrong ingredients, such as salted butter (unsalted works best). Regardless of why it happened, your cake is stuck to its cake pan, and hours of mixing, baking and toiling over your masterpiece are about to be wasted on a crumbly, if tasty, mess.

Not so fast! There's an easy, sure-fire way to fix this problem, and it doesn't involve any strange, expensive utensils. According to WikiHow, all you need to salvage your creation are water and a dishcloth.

First, dip the dish cloth in water. The temperature is irrelevant. Next, wring out the cloth. Then, wrap the cloth around the base of the cake pan. Proceed by shaking the pan gently until the cake loosens in the pan and releases itself.

My usual cake pans have an arm that slides around. The heart shaped cake pans do not. Sometimes they stick. I didn't know that unsalted butter is better for greasing either.

Timely advice! Heart shaped cake season is coming right up. I believe I'll remember to try this when that happens. Some thoughts stick, some don't.

I use salted butter and flour in my pans when I am making cakes.And this is nice tip that I picked up,if you run out of flour use sugar.The sugar won't melt but will give the cakes a nice finish and they won't stick to the pans.This has worked well for me in the past.
