Step 2Gather weapons and ammo!
Now that we have an image that we are going to try to replicate, we must get supplies. You need lots of ingredients to make a cake of this size. But on the bright side, you can probably feed 20 hungry people with this cake, maybe 30 not-so-hungry people. I personally ate around two thirds of mine, but it took me five days to do it. This might not sound like a lot of cake based off of that, but I eat cake like nobody's business.
I used the following recipe for the cake and the frosting, which was quite tasty: http://www.hersheys.com/recipes/recipes/detail.asp?id=184&page=1&per=10&keyword=perfectly
As you can see, that recipe only makes one 9" x 13" cake. I tripled my recipe for the cake and doubled the frosting recipe.
You'll need the following supplies:
-5 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (cake flour might work too)
-6 cups sugar
-6 cups powdered sugar (AKA confectioner's sugar)
-3 7/12 (yes, seven twelfths) cups cocoa powder (I used Hershey's since it's their recipe)
-3 2/3 cups whole milk (just buy a quart)
-1 cups unsalted butter (honestly, who buys salted butter? Only suckers, that's who!)
-6 eggs
-1 1/2 cups vegetable oil (I used soybean oil)
-8 teaspoons vanilla (You can buy a quart of pure vanilla at Smart & Final for 12 or 13 bucks, which absolutely dominates regular supermarkets like Safeway in price. So buy it from Smart & Final or some discount bulk store)
-4 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
-4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
-1 tablespoon salt
-3 cups boiling water (apparently stores don't sell boiling water, they expect me to make it myself...sigh)
-A 9" x 13" straight sided cake pan (two would be better, three would be best...it's a big cake)
The following items are somewhat negotiable, you need something to use for the eyes, the red mouth background and the teeth. I used the following, feel free to substitute.
-Chocolate eyeballs (I used two See's candy caramel wafer things. Any type of circular chocolate truffle type thing will work wonderfully)
-White candies that you can cut to form teeth
-Raspberries
