This is a fantastic pan, that with the right method makes perfect little cakes and truffles.
The Nordic Ware website has amazing tips, and if you follow the instructions, it works. Baker's joy or shortening and super fine flour gives you the detail you should have with this pan.
The reviewer with the thicker batter idea is correct, and I would never use an "ez-make-insta-batter" with this gorgeous pan, the nasty additions they put in it may gum up your pan (lecithin, fats).
Worth the extra mile!

okay. there is a secret to using this pan. cake batter doesnt work. all of my little shapes got stuck. but i used gingerbread batter and they came out beautifully (with the help of a greased pan of course). so the secret is to use a thicker batter. muffin and bread batter anyway.

I didn't realize this was considered a candy mold also but I can certainly see why it would ill-suited for that purpose.
As a mini bundt cake pan though, it seems perfect to me. I've made Mexican chocolate cake (from The Pastry Queen cookbook) dusted with X sugar and they looked perfect. I've also made red velvet cake and pumpkin muffins in this pan. I used Baker's Joy. I had absolutely no problem with getting them out with just the flick of a knife along the side of each one, and they had perfect definition. This pan makes great little two bite cakes/muffins which are easy for taking to work or anywhere you lack plates & forks for eating cake.

I am very happy with the impressed comments of my friends after making the raspberry truffle recipe that came with the pan. After reading the other reviews about release problems, I was a little apprehensive. However, I had no problems getting out most of the chocolates. I didn't coat the pan at all before adding the chocolate. The last five minutes I put the pan in the freezer because I was going to be late for the party. To get the chocolates out, I put down a sheet of wax paper and simply banged the pan upside-down onto the table. The pan is cast-iron aluminum and a bit heavy, so I didn't need to use much force, I just let gravity do the work. About half came out perfectly. I collected those, and then banged the pan again. A third firm tap got the last 3 out, though the last one did fall apart, probably because I didn't coat the sides with chocolate very well. All in all I was very happy. I had to substitute in their recipe though, and used pommegranate juice instead of raspberry extract because I couldn't find any. I also ended up with too much ganache, so I ended up hand rolling and dipping those to keep. I'm glad I did, since all of the molded truffles got eaten at the party! The recipe was very delicious and the chocolates were gorgeous!

Many of the comments refer to issues removing cakes from the pan. If you use Baker's Joy or Pam for Baking spray you will have NO problem. Place the pan on the open dishwasher door and spray away... you will have no mess to clean up either. i have many shaped pans including this one and the secret to easy removal and clean up is the spray.
Also, many of you are using cake mixes as the box instructs. these pans work best with a denser cake such as a bundt or pound cake recipe. there are many recipes/books for modifying mixes into such cakes, or you can start from scratch. see [...]
when you put the batter into the pan you also need to tap the pan on the counter or run a toothpick through the batter to remove the air bubbles that get trapped at the bottom of the mold, hence distorting the shapes.
