I don't try and remove it from the springform base. I put
the cake, base and all, right onto the serving platter.
You can do this with regular cakes too, either with a
springform base or a regular cardboard cake circle.

If you have to transport it, you can stick the springform
base to the platter with a few loops of duct tape between
the base and the platter.
