To prevent sticking, make sure to thoroughly grease your mini muffin tin or cake molds with butter or nonstick spray. You can also use parchment paper liners or silicone baking molds, which release cakes easily and keep cleanup simple. Let the cakes cool slightly before removing to avoid breakage.
It depends on the individual recipe, but in many cases—yes! Boxed cake mix can be a great time-saver, especially when you're making multiple mini cakes. Just be sure to follow any specific adjustments noted in the recipe, like reducing liquid or adding ingredients (such as sour cream or pudding mix) to improve texture and flavor for smaller portions.
