Serves 10 to 12
The cakes can be prepared up to 1 day ahead: Reheat at 325° for 15 to 20 minutes, then make the frosting. Assemble just before serving.

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  
• 2 medium onions, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
  
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
  
• 2 celery stalks, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
  
• 5 pounds ground beef
  
• 2 small carrots, peeled and finely grated (about 1/2 cup), peels reserved for decorating
  
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  
• 2 tablespoons ground mustard
  
• 1 tablespoon coarse salt
  
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  
• Mashed potatoes
  
• 1/2 cup cooked green peas
  
• Vegetable oil cooking spray

2. Add beef, carrot, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, eggs, oats, ground mustard, salt, and pepper to bowl with vegetable mixture; mix thoroughly with your hands.

3. Gently press into prepared pans. Bake until an instant-read thermometer registers 160°, about 25 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes; carefully remove with a spatula, and transfer to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Tent with foil.

4. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a small pan. Add reserved carrot peels; cook until tender, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain.

5. Place 1 meat loaf on platter; spread 1 cup warm mashed potatoes over top. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons peas. Top with remaining meat loaf. Frost top and sides with 3 cups mashed potatoes. Fill piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tip (such as Ateco #825) with remaining mashed potatoes. Pipe borders around cake. Using tip of a 1/4-inch plain round tip (such as Ateco #10), punch out circles from carrot peels. Decorate cake with carrot circles and remaining peas. Serve immediately.
