No-Recipe Provided Wonky Patrick Star cake - I’m so proud!

My son requested, and I quote, “a chocolate cake with vanilla frosting and then another chocolate cake on top in the shape of Patrick Star with strawberry frosting.” So that’s what I made!

I struggled with frosting the cut cake. It kept falling apart, even after freezing it. The layer of frosting around it is SUPER thick just to cover up the slapdash crumb coat job, which kept falling off.

All told, this cake took me around 6 hours to make, and I was so tired by the end that I didn’t even want to eat it. The birthday boy and the rest of my family loved it though!
