DIY Fall Kit-Kat Cake

The prompt for today's Fall Back into Blogging challenge from SITS is to share your favorite fall recipe.  My favorite is my drunken pumpkin recipe, but that will have to be another time as I don't have photos or anything ready for it.  Instead, I've decided to share the recipe for the Kit-Kat cake that everyone seemed to like from yesterdays post.

     

Ingredients Needed:

• A round cake pan.
• Cake mix (I made mine from scratch using the Black Magic Cake Recipe from AllRecipes)
• Frosting (I also made this from scratch using the Buttercream Icing Recipe from Wilton)
• Kit-Kats (enough to go around however large your cake pan is)
• M&Ms, the fall colored ones.
• Ribbon

The Steps:

1. Bake your cake and let it cool for as long as possible so the icing doesn't melt.
2. Frost the cake on all sides and on the top.  This will work like your "glue."
3. Line the Kit-Kats up around the edges of the cake so they are all the way around.
4. Use your ribbon to hold the Kit-Kats in place, and tie a pretty bow to make it pretty.
5. Pour the M&Ms (candy corn would work too) on top so it looks like a bowl of M&Ms.

And you're done!  Invite good friends over to enjoy your creations with you! :) It can be a little difficult to cut, but it sure is delicious!
