Thanks. I have one of these pans and was looking at how they are used for an Angel Food Cake recipe I'm making, when I came across your video. Very helpful!

I'm much better at eating cakes than baking them, but my Mom, OBM, was great at baking, and this is pretty much how she got her classic sponge cake out of the pan. I had taken the tube pan for granted, but now I see the ingenious features that make it so useful. Thanks for the nostalgia!

Thanks for this - I just made an angel food cake and it was great but crumbled around the edges when I took it out of the pan (using the recipe instructions!) - now I know the right way to do it. Thanks again!!

[@Gonergrat]

what if you don't have a two-piece pan?

[@zachariah-binyisrayl5570]

I really do wish I had seen this video BEFORE my cake broke today. Now that I know the PROPER way to release my cake....NEVER AGAIN will I suffer another disaster. Thanx SO MUCH for posting this. 💗👍🏿

This is great! Thank you for this. My son baked his first chiffon and I had to leave. He messaged to ask me how to get the cake out of the pan, and I tried to describe it, but lo and behold! A very good video. I sent him the link. 😊

Thanks for the tip. Just made my first angel food cake and I’m dreading the cleanup!!

[@Worshipper1126]

Thanks Christie for the tip🤗 God Bless

Thank you so much!!!

I always thought using a Two-Piece-Bunting-Pan

[@pvxccoach]

Thanks, Christie, for your demonstration! I really appreciate it! Your demonstration will help me to remove my cake much easier. I noticed my cake was not quite uniform. It was lower around the tube. Does that signify something...such as not enough baking powder? Thanks for your help!

Thank you!

[@Ps51bx]

Thank you, I'm using this to make a pound cake. I had no idea which pan to purchase. I saw this one, but the 3 prongs confused me until I watched your video. I'm good to ho, thank you again.

[@lisatyler3627]

thank you so much!

[@MATTW3R]

I wish home economics was still a thing woulda been nice to learn this before I destroyed the cake.

[@vickie2371]

Thank you

[@theinkbrain]

Can you bake regular cakes in this type of pan?

[@FamilyFunStuff]

thanks for sharing! Now to bake a cake for my Mom's birthday!

[@nodak81]

I'll never understand why they don't make the end of the tube the same height as the feet on the pan. That way when you turn it upside down everything touches the table and there is zero chance of the cake and pan bottom falling out which has happened a couple of times to my mother. She hates two-piece pans for that reason.

Knives scraping along the non stick coating only helps to ensure future cakes don't stick. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
