This is the cake we made to celebrate my cousin's 6th birthday. Grandma Janie had seen some pictures of Kit Kat cakes and decided that it would be the perfect cake for Taytum's birthday. I couldn't agree more. It was so amazingly easy to make. We used boxed cake mix (I promise that there is cake under all of that candy) and canned frosting because we were in a hurry. It is a great cake to do when you are in a hurry or have kids helping you (or both) because it doesn't matter if the cake is a bit uneven or if you frost it wonky because you are covering it all up anyway! Just do a search for Kit Kat cake on Flikr and you will find several adorable versions of this cake for inspiration.
UPDATE: I'm so excited that my cake was featured on One Pretty Thing. I want to make sure that I give a shout out to the cake that probably inspired mine the most: this one from Cakeoholic.
ANOTHER UPDATE: I think we might try a 4th of July version of this cake with white chocolate Kit Kats and red, white and blue M&Ms. Sounds like it would be cute, don't you think?

And thanks for linking up at Serving Pink Lemonade!
I love this cake, you did a great job. I think this maybe the inspiration for one of our next parties-a candy themed party. Would you mind if I share your cake on my blog at www.inspirationforcelebration.blogspot.com
Thanks (found you on serving pink lemonade)
Thanks for all the kind comments everyone!
Cristina - Feel free to use the pictures on your site, just please link back. I wasn't able to reply to your comment directly because it was a 'no-reply' address. So I hope you come back and see this! :)
Gorgeous cake! I was wondering -- do you need any kind of support for the top tier? I'll be making this for my son's birthday and it will be my first two-tier cake. Thanks!
Hi Anonymous,
I couldn't reply directly to you, so I hope you see this. No, I did not use any extra support. Just plopped the smaller cake right on top. Tried to make a 3 tiered version once by putting a cupcake on top, but that didn't work so well. But if you stick with 2 layers you should be fine. :)
Thanks for your reply. I don't have a blog so I commented as 'anonymous'. I can't wait to try this. :)
Laura
what were the 2 sizes of the cakes in cm???
Your Cakeaholic link doesn't work.
Awesome looking cake! I've decided to do one for my little sisters 14th birthday this week and was wondering how did you cut this baby up? I don't want to make too much of a mess of it :-/
I saw a video on youtube that shows how to cut the kitkat cake if that helps Carrlala.
This is the loveliest version of a Kit Kat cake that I've seen, thank you for sharing it. Would you please share size pans you used? Thank you again!
Hi @ellienchip! The bottom layer was a 9 inch round and the top one was probably a 6 inch. A 5 inch pan should work too.
