I am glad you started this. I just had this issue this weekend.

Put about 1/4 cup either flour (or cocoa) in a prep bowl, (depending on the color of the batter); then, simply dip the tart shaper in the flour or cocoa in between presses. This should take care of it for you.

Best of luck!!

This happens to me, too. When I make the S'Mores Cups, the graham cracker mixture sticks to it. I was curious if putting on flour or sugar would help, but I guess you've tried so I don't know if there is a solution.

This is what I do too and never have a problem with sticking.

It always sticks for me. I have to load it with flour - but for some things it does not matter.

I wish it were made out of BAMBOO!! I am thinking that it might make it a little non-stick. But, not sure if that would help.

(still love it though!)

I've never had this problem and I make the smores cups all the time - family of addicts. I make sure mine is wet with butter (can never have too much butter). I don't have to keep wetting it, once it's soaked enough, it works fine.

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your tart shaper. As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I completely understand how frustrating it can be when things don't turn out perfectly. First of all, make sure you are using a non-stick tart shaper. If you're not sure, you can always double check with the product number (1658) or ask your Pampered Chef consultant. In addition to using spray oil and flour/confectioners sugar, you can also try lightly greasing the tart shaper with butter or shortening. Another tip is to chill the tart shaper in the fridge before using it. This can help prevent the cake from sticking. If you're still having trouble, try using a different recipe or adjusting the baking time and temperature. Every oven is different, so it's important to experiment and find the perfect combination for your specific oven. I hope these tips help you achieve perfect mini cakes and brownies with your tart shaper. If you have any further questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to your Pampered Chef consultant for more personalized assistance. Happy baking!
