As long as I grease the pan, I've not had a problem. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-more-healthy-cake-question#post-719703 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 11:26:51 +0000 Mrsbells 719703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wilton-2105-5038-Giant-Cupcake-Pan/dp/B000UPRAXA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1366129578&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=giant+cupcake+pan" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Wilton-2105-5038-Giant-Cupcake-Pan/dp/B000UPRAXA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1366129578&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=giant+cupcake+pan</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-more-healthy-cake-question#post-719699 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 11:26:11 +0000 Mrsbells 719699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: yes I am using this oversize cupcake pan. You should really check out the customer photos on Amazon some of them posted their professional photos and they are so cute</p> <p>@hergreenapples: yeah I think I heard someone mention that. I wasnt aware of soaking and pureeing them. I will look for dates I think I may have seen some at my local supermarket </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-more-healthy-cake-question#post-719401 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 10:12:22 +0000 heartonastring 719401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually if something doesn't come out clean it's due to a lack of fat. If the recipe you're using doesn't use butter/oil etc. then I would recommend lining the bottom of the pan with parchment and greasing the whole pan (I am partial to coconut oil for greasing).</p> <p>Also, in case you're still soliticing ideas for sweetening the cake, I really like using dates. My dad is vegan and sugar-free and we frequently use dates soaked in hot water and pureed in order to sweeten baked goods for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-more-healthy-cake-question#post-719396 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 10:11:49 +0000 regberadaisy 719396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: are you using a cupcake form??</p> <p>Just make sure to spray all sides and tap out with flour and put some parchment/wax paper on the bottom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-more-healthy-cake-question#post-719385 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 10:09:10 +0000 Mrsbells 719385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those of you have have tried baking cakes and using banana or applesauce in place of sugar, do you find that the cake comes out of the pan cleanly? I really want my cake to retain its cupcake shape </p>
