Hi Jennie, we generally do recommend using a good baking spray to prepare your bundt pan to prevent sticking, and while baking spray may contribute a little bit to crust color, you certainly wouldn't want to omit greasing the pan. Of course, the ingredients in the cake and the temperature of the oven also contribute to browning, so the results you noticed are probably not all related to the type of spray you used.
