Make your own "Cake Release"
Another Google find. This recipe is also known as cake goop. I have tried it and it works every bit as well as Wilton's Cake Release (which
I love)
Cake Goop Recipe
1 part shortening
1 part vegetable oil
1 part flour
Use whatever quantities you like, for whatever amount you need. Thoroughly combine all ingredients, until smooth.
Apply an even, moderate coat to entire inside of pan.
I keep mine in a covered plastic container in my refrigerator, with a pastry brush inside, so it's always ready to use.
I have gotten far better results with nice even, clean releases of
cakes and muffins using this mixture than I ever got with regular
oiling or buttering of pans and then coating with flour. Much cheaper
than similar commercial products. If you do a lot of baking, it's worth
keeping around.

Yes, this is the same "cake goop" that a well-known cake decorator around these parts uses too. He told us about it at a cake class a few months ago. We were all taking notes on this stuff - it works great! I'm so over cutting out those parchment circles/squares!
Thanks so much for posting it. I'm using it today!

So you don't need to put flour after you used this? (I know there's flour in the recipe, but I thought I'd make sure...)

Thank you so much for sharing this!! I HATE to grease and flour my pans. I almost bought cake release a few weeks ago, but I just couldn't make myself pay that much. I will be buying the stuff for this when I buy groceries today!!! Hooray! :-)

I have used this "goop" since the mid 70's when I took my first cake deco class from one of the first Ladies in Canada to hold her Masters' from Wilton!
It is a "must" item for any kitchen where there is even a "minute" of baking being done.
Great site!
I'm off to explore....
Ciao!
