How Can I Prevent Batter From Leaking in a Springform Pan With a Heart Mold?

[tabnat80]

I have a customer who owns the older springform pan. She said that it came with a heart mold but every time she uses it, the liquid from her batter seeps under the mold. She wants to know what she's doing wrong. Any suggestions?

I don't have it but I seem to recall hearing that the secret was to sit the heart insert on a piece of foil and then wrap the foil around the sides of the heart.

I have this pan and that's what I do. She will need to use heavy duty wrap or double it. Also, be sure that she's getting the pan seated good when she uses the heat insert.
