KIT KAT CAKE

Our son’s girlfriend had a birthday last month and she is

crazy about Kit Kat’s! So, I was bound and determined to make her a Kit Kat cake and she was absolutely tickled with it! The cake is so fun to make and even more fun for the recipient to cut. Just put it on a cookie sheet in case the M&Ms fall like they did when I was trying to assemble this cake. Let’s just say don’t try and film the cake for social media while putting on the Kit Kat bars or you might have M&Ms all over the place, LOL!



Her favorite cake is yellow with chocolate frosting, but you could do any flavor cake. The chocolate buttercream frosting just looks nice with the Kit Kats but of course you could change up frostings too.

 
I forgot to add the cocoa powder in the photo, LOL

Ingredients

CAKE:

            1 box chocolate or yellow cake mix of choice, mixed according to package directions 
            Keep in mind to only fill each of your two round pans 2/3 the amount that you normally fill them as you don’t want the cake too high to not have a pocket for the M&Ms in the Kit Kats. Make a few cupcakes with the leftover batter, mine made four cupcakes in addition to the two round cakes.

CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING:

            1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, at room temperature
            4 ounces (1/2 block) cream cheese, at room temperature
            2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
            1 teaspoon vanilla extract
            1/2 cup cocoa powder 

DECORATION 

            36-44 Kit Kat candy bar sticks (9-11 bars)
            24-36 ounces M&M’s
            Ribbon

Her favorite color is yellow and thus the yellow ribbon. You could do about any ribbon, and it is optional but trust me when I tell you it really helps hold the cake together and it looks so pretty. LOVE her happy smile when she saw it!
Our Sweet Lauren

These taller gold candles were perfect for 
it so they didn't get too close to the M&M's

I think Hazel liked it too, she sure loves her mama.

today to see how I did it.

HAPPY MONDAY KIT KAT CUTIES!!!

  17. I made one of these once! I put the ribbon on as soon as I had the Kit Kats in place then filled with M&M's. It was actually pretty easy to do and what a delicious sugar rush we all got from eating it too. The yellow ribbon looks great against the cake and the birthday girl looks thrilled.

  18. Saved to Pinterest! I saw this on IG yesterday and knew I just had to check it out! Yummy. Also, great tip about not overfilling the pans and just making a few extra cupcakes instead.
