Best Cake Yet!

I recently made a cake for Andrew's birthday. This cake took me quite a while to complete. The steps:
1. Cut a hole in a box (just kidding. I made a 9x13 inch chocolate cake).
2. Baked a 9x13 inch yellow cake.
3. While those cooled, I made a double batch of buttercream (and panicked because I forgot to put the applesauce in the yellow cake, but it turned out fine).
4. Made a half batch of white frosting, piped it around the edge of the top of the chocolate cake.
5. Spread raspberry jam on top of the chocolate cake.
6. Spread buttercream over the jelly, put cake in fridge.
7. Spread more raspberry jam over the buttercream, set yellow cake on top of chocolate cake.
8. Chilled cake again while I made a big batch of white frosting.
9. Had the most difficult time in the world frosting this damn cake. I will never use this recipe for white frosting again.
10. Chilled the cake again. While waiting for it to cool, I mixed the colors I needed for the design, which reminds me, I forgot to explain the stencils for this:
A. I made a drawing on graph paper to get the pixels right.
B. Drew an outline of the border, cut it out.
C. Drew an outline for light blue and whites of eyes, cut it out.
D. Drew an outline for dark blue, cut it out.
E. Drew an outline for face color, cut it out.
F. Labeled the order I needed to use the stencils in and what colors should go in them.
11. Took the cake out of the fridge, spread gray buttercream through the first stencil, then chilled again.
12. Spread white and light blue buttercream through the second stencil, fixed mistakes (carefully!) with a toothpick (I had to do that with the other layers too). Chilled again while making the blue darker.
13. Spread dark blue through the third stencil. Chilled again.
14. Spread yellowish color through the face stencil. Chilled again.
15. Using more gray, redid some background pixels to bring them up to foreground height, then wrote birthday message. Chilled cake overnight.
16. In the morning, I put black food coloring in the remaining white frosting to make it gray. As horrible as it was to frost with this stuff, it did okay in the bag while I made a shell border.

Anyway, here's my creation:

It went over quite well, and I'm quite pleased. I would say it'll be quite a while before I make a cake this involved again, but Wilson's birthday is coming up fast. :P
