I made the chocolate filled cream cakes and they are awesome! I found that the filling kind of 'floats' up to the top (which is actually the bottom once turned out) eventhough I tried to push it down before baking. It ends up being the same color as the cake so I guess it doesn't matter too much.
I haven't had any problems removing the cupcakes, but I have only made our recipes in them including peanut butter cups. I didn't oil the pan at all for them and they came out. I do have the same problem with build up on the top of the pan too. I am afraid to use anything too harsh on it. Silicone can scratch, so I don't want to ruin my pan.
Good luck!

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if my Pampered Chef Floral Cake Pan is sticking?
If your cake is sticking to the pan, ensure that you are properly greasing it before pouring in the batter. Use a non-stick spray or butter and flour the pan to create a barrier. Additionally, allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before attempting to remove it from the pan.
How can I fix a cake that has baked unevenly in the Floral Cake Pan?
Uneven baking can occur due to oven temperature fluctuations or incorrect batter distribution. Make sure to preheat your oven and use an oven thermometer to verify the temperature. Additionally, ensure that the batter is evenly distributed in the pan before baking.
What should I do if my cake has a burnt bottom in the Floral Cake Pan?
If your cake has a burnt bottom, it may be due to baking at too high a temperature or placing the pan too close to the heating element. Try lowering the oven temperature by 25°F and positioning the pan in the center of the oven for more even heat distribution.
How can I clean my Pampered Chef Floral Cake Pan without damaging it?
To clean your Floral Cake Pan, avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Instead, soak the pan in warm soapy water for a few minutes, then gently scrub with a soft sponge. For tough stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be effective. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing.
What should I do if my cake is not rising properly in the Floral Cake Pan?
If your cake is not rising, check that your baking powder or baking soda is fresh and properly measured. Additionally, ensure that you are not overmixing the batter, as this can lead to a dense cake. Lastly, make sure you are using the correct oven temperature and baking time as specified in your recipe.
