OK - so I'm making my first wedding cake for saturday...baked my first layer of the 14' pan - I can't get it out!!!ARGH!!! some of the cake started to separate (the top was starting to come off) 
What do I do now!!! I greased and floured my pan!!!! H-E-L-P!!!
Try reheating it; you may have let it cool off too much. IF you greased it, you should be able to reheat the grease, to let the cake slip out.
Ok, Calm down.... Let's see, try to go around the cake edges with a spatula, then see if it will come out. Now if it's stuck to the bottom of the pan try and angled spatula and try to get it out. The next time you bake try the cake release it's really good and when I use it I don't wait for the cake to cool I just take it out the oven, wait about 3-5 minutes and I turn it over and it just plops out.
I hope everything works out, so you won't have to bake the layer again!
I use a product called Baker's Joy, and I over spray the pan with it so that the cake won't stick. Another thing you can do is grease the pan and then put a piece of parchment paper the same size of the pan on the bottom of the pan and then grease and flour the paper. I haven't tried the paper technique but I have some recipes that call for that. If the cake you already made isn't too bad you could always use icing to put it back together. Hope this help.

Here's what I use to grease my pans. Equal parts of oil, shortening and flour mixed together. Never have had any stick at all. Some decorators in this area keep it mixed and in the fridge for use.
Oops forgot to complement the cake before I submitted. It's beautiful!!!
