how do you use this? Do you bake it standing up or lying down and how much cake mis does it use?

Lying down and the the directions give you the amount of batter to use. I believe it was about 3 cups. It worked great and is very cute! A nice family tradition that has been in mine for years!

Lying down with prongs on the bottom of the baking sheet. I always place my mold on a baking sheet because I overfill the mold on purpose. I have baked four Lamb cakes and everyone has turned out great!

You lie the baking form down on the side which has little stilts on it and fill just that part of the mold. The cake mixture will rise to fill out the full mold. Make sure you fill every part of that mold, including the ears. Use the recipe that is included with the cake mold and you should be fine. It is basically a pound cake recipe.

You bake it lying down. The top side is the back side I believe. You tie it closed with some twine... cake mix should amost fill the bottom. When it bakes it expands upward....

I cooked the cake on its side.. There is one side of the pan that looks like a base with several prongs. I remember not filling it past the bottom side, it should rise to fit the whole pan. It came out nicely.

It comes with instructions that say to bake it laying face down, tying the two halves together with string. The instructions call for using three (3) cups of cake mix, filling the bottom (face) half to within a 1/4" of the top.

You can use a pound cake mix or make your own receipefor pound cake. You fill the pan to the top and I use a string to tie around the pan cause it could pop uop causing an uneven cake. I lay the pan on its side, lying down, so it cooks nice and even.Let it cool for an hour and then frost with a buttercreen frosting. I use a large zip lock bag to put my frosting in. Cut a small corner of the bag and it makes it easier to frost.the cake. I also make another cake cause my children love chocolate. I usually use a chocolate glaze for the frosting.

I bought this as a gift for my Friend. However, I do not have experience baking in this cake pan. My Friend says her cakes come out fine. If it were me, I would probably still cut out a piece of parchment paper the size of the bottom. In the old days with regular aluminum cake pans, people would cut a piece of wax paper and put it at the bottom. So, I don't know what else to tell you other than perhaps go back to the greasing pan and then flour method. I wouldn't grease it heavy though. I wish I could be more helpful.

Well, my sister is the one that bakes. She makes her cakes in a regular house oven and they are perfect. But she also uses some ingredients and other methods with this pans that she won't share. Sorry if it wasnt much help.

Dear BrendaI am not much help here I personally never use cake mixes. I would suggest that you experiment. Use your natural creativity. Anything you can do with a regular cake should would work, just remember to oil the pan liberally and have fun.

When I use a silicon pan in my micro I just turn it on, don´t check the power but I bake for say my cake, for less minutes than the minutes requiered in the recipe, it is, if the recipe says 30 minutes I bake for let´s say, 20 minutes, check if the cake and it it is not done I bake it 5 more minutes and so on. I hope this help.

I do this often. I like having small cakes for dinner and not having to heat the kitchen up to do it. Just make sure to not fill too much as they raise a lot.

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

I believe the answer is in how long you bake this cake.It is a fine line between cooked and over cooked.My cake still cracked.I also found this cake to be very dense.

I measured the volume at a bit over 9 cups. It is smaller than normal bundt cake pans so I fill it about 2/3 full and bake the rest of the batter in a small pan. Makes a beautiful cake!

You have to use a cookie sheet. The sil pat is floppy... It isn't sturdy enough to lay on the oven racks. However, the cookies (or anything else you bake on it) will not stick and it creates a perfect browning on the bottom. Easiest clean up ever.

I'll agree with the others that Baker's Joy is a must...take the pan from the oven, cool for 10 minutes the invert the cake onto a rack. and the cake pops out. Maria P.

It all depends on what you put in the pan. Just because the pan is 3" tall, it doesn't mean you have to fill it. I use the same recipe I used in a 2" pan, the new pan bakes it exceptionally well. If you choose to increase the batter to fill the 3" pan, of course it will take longer to bake, but I would expect the same result. I don't know why it would spill over the top. There are no leavening agents in cheese cake.

I don't remember doing anything special. It certainly wouldn't hurt to run it for a few minutes to bake off any film on it but probably not necessary. I bet you could find a manual on line from the company. It is a great machine. rrlson

My silicone bundt pan works perfect, please note that you have to take your cake out of pan only when it is not hot anymore ...aproximately after 30 minutes otherwise it can "slouch" down. So if you bake it for 30 minutes, then let it cool in open oven, if you put cake from the oven into cold place it definitely will "slouch" down because difference of temperatures. It is especially important for sponge cakes and alike...

I use it for pound cakes and only spray it lightly with PAM, and lightly dust with flour. It really doesn't matter if you do it assembled or unassembled.What's important to know, is you CAN NOT use a runny cake batter!!!

Fill it past the second tier (level to the start of the third tier upside down of course) the butter flour approach for non stick is better then using non stick spray I tried both and my tiers were more defined and looked better under fondant.. When it comes to backing times I can't recall how long. Try 350 degrees F for 15 min check the center and add on time as you check it so you do not burn it. Let stand outside oven cool for ten mins then place a pan under and flip they should quick release. Sorry about the timing maybe someone else can be more helpful there. Good luck!

I used a regular cake mix. no problem. baking time will take some adjustment.
