I have a Baker's Secret 12 Cup Mini Bundt Pan but I have never been successful in actually baking anything in it - well, that I don't want to dig out in a mess of crumbs! I have been trying it with a cupcake recipe which I usually have great success with . is this wrong! I spray with canola non-stick cooking spray but they still stick and won't turn out. Do I need to flour as well! And they flow over the top of the wells too so I guess I am filling them to much! All help gratefully received, thank you. BTW: If anyone knows of a YouTube that features the mini's I would love the link, I have searched but cannot find one that will show me what to do. Thanks.

mizp, I'm not sure if you've already found the following.
Hope those links and the info' and recipes on them are helpful to you.:-))
Edited to add an answer to "I spray with canola non-stick cooking spray but they still stick and won't turn out. Do I need to flour as well!"
If my memory serves me correctly I think it was cookessentials who advised greasing and flouring the large bundt tin for the Lemon Hoghurt Cake so IMO, yes you do need to flour (as well) the mini or baby Bundt tins.:-))
Edited to answer your edited: OK I will try that next time.

The mini bundts ( gugelhopf) from memory are a little more intricate than their normal bundt tin. For the bigger bundt tin, i butter and flour mine which you may find easier. it may be a case of trial and error there. I think you will have more success this way rather than the spray. Nothing worng with using it for cupcakes, although a firmer cake would probably fare better. The lemon yoghurt cake recipe could be a good one to try in these, you would get a fair few.

oops, my apologies for the typo - the name of the cake should read Lemon Yoghurt Cake.:-))

I find that the spray tends to build up and stain the tins. The flour and butter technique IMO is so much better. Sure, it might be a bit fiddly with the smaller bundts, but once you have done it a few times, it would be easier. You could, however, melt a little butter and grease the tin using a bristle pastry brush, then flouring.then all you do is turn it upside down over the sink and give a couple of taps to distribute all around the tin and shake of the excess.

Re the spray - my findings and thoughts exactly Pam.I always melt a little butter and use a brush (nowdays usually a silicone one) to brush the tins with the melted butter, then if flouring, sprinkle a little in and shake it around, then tip any excess out.:-))

Yes, that is the way I used to do my cake tins in 'the olden days' in England when I used to bake a lot.
