So the other day was my mum's birthday and I decided to put my baking skills to the test and bake her a cake. I took ideas from the traditional Kit Kat Cakes but wanted to make it a little more exciting. So I decided to go pink overload and do a layered vanilla cake with two shades of pink and then fill the top with cute pink decorations.
For this cake you will need:
2 boxes of cake mix of your choice (preferably a white cake)
Butter cream frosting (I used Betty Croker's Ready Frosting)
3-4 Family Kit Kat Blocks
Pink food colouring
Pink decorations for the top
2 x 22 cm round cake tin
a Cake board
To Begin I followed the directions on the box of the first cake mix. Pretty simple, just add egg, milk and butter and beat together. Once it was all combined I added in around 1/2 - 3/4 tablespoons of food colouring and mixed this in to achieve a pale pink.
Once the cakes were cooled I began the decorating process.
First I cut of all the brown areas on each layer of cake and made the cakes all the an even size and flat on top. I then placed some frosting on the cake board and placed my first layer of cake. Once positioned I covered the top in frosting and added the next layer making sure to alternate colours. I continued until all the cakes were used. Then covered the entire cake in frosting.
I prepared the kit kat by cutting them into two line pieces. It is easiest to cut them with a sharp knife then to attempt to just snap them as they have a tendency to break.
You can then place the lollies on the top a handful at a time to ensure they do not fall off.
Then clean the board up, tie a ribbon around it and your cake is complete.
So there you go a pretty simple cake that is sure to grab attention and don't forget about the surprise when you cut the first piece.
Hope you enjoyed reading how I created this cake and hopefully give it a try.
