The Amazing Bundt

Okay, quick confession: Bundt cakes make me happy. The mere sight of a cleverly crafted Bundt pan and an effervescent joy suffuses my being. I can't explain it. I can only offer my apologies to pastry chefs the world over.

Anyway, one of my Christmas prezzies was a castle Bundt pan. As darling as it is, a fear lingered in my heart, the fear of every Bundt aficionado - it's gonna stick! Look at the crenellation on the towers! The darling borders to the gate! It will stick and my vision of a beautiful castle Bundt will lie in yummy, cakey ruins . . .

Only, it didn't stick!!!!

And to what do I owe my success? The name says it all.
