my second layer for my 14" tier for a wedding tomorrow just broke into a billion pieces. 
i cant believe it. god why did i say yes to such a large cake. 
Ohh wow, I am so sorry=( I am sure you heart just sunk when it fell apart=( Hopefully you have enough time to get another one done!! And here is a *HUG* for the stress that just cause you! GL hun, Jen
The exact same thing happened to me a year ago on my first big cake order....the damn thing broke TWICE! It's the Oyama cake in my photos. I literally just about passed out the second time! Are you using a heating core? (maybe it's cooking too slowly in the middle?)....I realized mine was sticking to the pan because I was using margarine in place of crisco for greasing. I just made the second one work because it cracked down the middle, so I 'spackled' it with frosting!!
thanks guys, just finished the second try. yes i used a heating core. it broke when i tried to transfer it onto the first layer. so this time its going to go in the freezer. see if that helps
O, I hope this one works for you (i've got my fingers crossed)

My favorite saying...
I think the freezer idea is the best way to go.
Good Luck
I can relate to your delima. I too have had a cake break on me while taking it out of the pan. Just relax and don't stress out too much.
I'll cry with you too. It happened to me on my first wedding cake. The 16" one broke in several places when I tried to stack it. I didn't have time to bake another one and I was calling grocery stores to see if I could by one. Of course not, that would be too easy. I was so scared the whole thing would come down that I seriously was throwing up! For real. If that wasn't bad enough, I had to meet the bride that night at the reception hall to see where she wanted the cake and my son kept telling everyone, "my mom broke the wedding cake!" I wanted to take him straight to the closest adoption agency. Kids never listen, I told him I would only be a minute and to wait in the car. I drove the cake to the hall the next day with a Bible in the car and made my mom say a prayer over the cake, then proceeded to drive about 20mph with my flashers on. I can laugh about it now, sort of.

I meant to tell you good luck and you can pull this off. Don't worry too much.
Oh my gosh Keonicakes!! I am sitting here just laughing out loud. That really is quite a funny story especially what your son said. I can just picture it. Thanks for the laugh.
