I saw this cake on Pinterest last year and put it in my mental recipe box for this Christmas. I didn't save the recipe but, to be honest, you don't need one. It's all about the decorating! I have had a tonne of compliments on this cake but anyone can do it. I used a 2 layer, 10 inch round chocolate cake that I made from scratch but you can use a cake mix, a smaller diameter cake, or any flavour you desire. Again, I used homemade chocolate frosting but store bought would save time (and let's face it, who isn't time crunched this month???)
It took about 8 kit kats to cover the outside of the cake (you'll have to break the bars into "2s" to easily shape to the outside of the cake). I used about 3 cups of mint M&Ms to top the cake. I found the "pooping" reindeer at a local grocery store and I am not sure if itis available outside of Canada??? But any cute toy or bigger chocolate would work (I also bought a 4 or 5 inch chocolate bear from Lindt that will be gracing the top of my next kit kat cake.) I tied it with cute ribbon and voila a super festive cake was completed!

Looks great. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is SO cute. Food is all about presentation and this cake ROCKS at that. Plus, I love how easy you said it is. I am already trying to figure out how I can work this into my holiday season! Haha! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI bought the candy to make a kitkat cake once, but we ended up eating it all before I made the cake. Yours looks great!

How cute and creative cake! Kids do live this cake! It's easy to make with what we can easily get. Thanks for sharing the idea. I would make this cake if I have kids around in the future:-)
ReplyDeleteI think that the key to successfully making a KitKat cake like this is to buy two or three times as much candy as you "need"...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and very very cute cake!
ReplyDeleteThis is OUTRAGEOUS! In a good way. I can't look away ;) I hope you don't mind but I'm so inspired I've included this post in my Friday Food Fetish roundup. Thanks for sharing and MOAR please :)
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing that on Recipe Girl a while ago and have been dying to make it since. Your cake looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to find one of those reindeer in Calgary (or get it shipped ASAP). Has anyone seen them here?
ReplyDeleteThank you,
Margot
Hi Margot,
ReplyDeleteI bought mine at Shoppers Drug Mart. I've also seen them at zellers!
