Yes-indeedy, this is absolutely what you think this is, and exactly what it shouldn’t be. It’s a MEATCAKE!!! Featuring three tiers of meatloaf with mashed potato icing and glazed with a delicious ketchup glaze, I was inspired by the awesome recipe by Black Widow Bakery.  It’s late, so I’ll be posting my own step-by-steps and recipe—which includes my personal meatloaf recipe requested by all those present at the birthday bash where this was served—in the next couple days, but I leave you now with a teaser.

Also, this is so NOT a shortcut recipe, to be sure. But I chose to invest hours and hours of prep, cooking and cleanup to celebrate the birthday of the man I love. Happy birthday to my husband Adrian… I hope you enjoyed your meatcake.
