For my friend’s birthday (the same friend that made the Polka Dot Cookies with me), I decided to make a cake that my mom has made before on her blog. Since my friend’s favorite candy is Kit Kats, I made a Kit Kat Cake. I supposed that if he liked Kit Kats, he MUST like M&Ms.
Whoa. I would be horrified to know how many calories are in this cake. The M&Ms and Kit Kats alone would be a TON of calories, but with cake and frosting too? Crazy.
The process of decorating the Kit Kat Cake is pretty time consuming. You have to surround the cake with M&Ms at the bottom of the cake. After that last step, you need to gently press the Kit Kats into the cake just above the M&Ms.
The Kit Kats need to be a very small space apart or else the M&Ms on top will slip through the open space.
My famous saying in this photo is: “To dump M&Ms, or not to dump M&Ms.” In this case, dump the M&Ms. But even though you dump the M&Ms on top, you still need to make sure that the M&Ms aren’t all piled up on one side. Try to even it out.
When you’re done with the cake, take two awesome colors of ribbon and wrap it around the Kit Kats. It’s a very clever idea. I only had three colors of ribbon, so I chose red and blue over yellow. Only now do I realize my cake looks like a presidential election cake.
I was proud of my masterpiece and still am. All Kit Kat Cakes look as majestic as mine (but mine is a little grander than most people’s cakes… because I made it!). 🙂
I might be able to take down the cake in one bite!! I don’t really think so though.
My friend, his family, and I LOVED this cake. I realized a measurement unit for cake slices too! You can use the Kit Kats to measure! For example: A three Kit Kat slice. The piece would be cut so that three Kit Kats are on the end your slice. In my opinion, the cake tasted perfect but chocolate is my life so other people might have different tastes than me (no pun intended). Any chocolate lover like me will want to marry this cake like the man who marries bacon in the Jack in the Box commercial. As the commercial says: “You may now eat the bride.”
And even a kid can create puns without realizing it… Like Me!
