Love this but I have a problem with the cake sticking to the paper, I tried vegetable oil, spray butter, spray baking oil, nothing worked, I lose a lot of the cake due to sticking to the paper.

J. Bates--try using parchment paper instead of wax paper. It works well for me!

I also have a terrible problem with the cake sticking to the parchment paper. It sticks quite a lot. I make a whip cream filling without the marshmallow cream. My husband loves this roll. It tastes light and wonderful.
