I grease my pan flour it put the parchment in the pan then I even put just a little grease lightly on the parchment that's just the way I've always done it may not be right but it works for me

I grease the pan, flour it, parchment paper them grease and flour the paper. I'm new to cake decorating but have been baking for years. Seems to work for me.

When I was younger and I would watch my mom bake cakes, she would crisco the the pan, then put the parchment (waxed back then, actually) paper in the pan, press into 'corners', then flip the parchment over and voila! It's crisco-ed. Then she would just sprinkle the flour in there.

Have a sparkling day!

I think the idea of the parchment is to take place of all the greasing and flouring.

I always grease the pan with plain crisco, then place the parchment in the bottom. The end.

Just turn the cake out before it cools completely. If needed run a knife around the edge before turning out.

Always use parchment.

I always grease and flour my pan, (using the spray now.)

Never grease the paper. Just seems so redundant to me when I have never had an issue taking it off.

I freeze my cakes as soon as they are cooled. I lay a paper towel over the top when I flip it out of the pan and I freeze the cake with paper towel on top and the parchment paper still on the bottom. Then peal them off before frosting it. Less crumbs. icon_rolleyes.gif

Yeah, I always wondered why you would need to grease something that's supposed to be non-stick. So one day I tried not greasing the parchment and there was very little difference in peeling it off, even on chocolate cake.

Just grease the pan so that the parchment will stick to the pan and not move around while you add the batter. Don't grease on top of the paper.

I agree with Leta. I just grease the pan, and then lay the parchment paper on it. For odd shaped pans, I do the same for the sides of the tins, but, fold 1/2 inch of each strip at the bottom and snip it at regular intervals with a pair of scissors. That lets the paper on the side sit well.

I spray my pans with spray oil (the baking kind) then put on the parchment or wax paper and then spray that too. My cakes never stick.
