Kit Kat Cake
This cake was an effort to use up some extras we had lying around. We were given 8 Kitkats for St. Martin. My 4-year-old can't have chocolate. We needed to get rid of them. Then there was a call for cake donations for a homeless shelter Christmas party. That's perfect.
I stacked, filled and iced two layers of vegan chocolate cake. They are filled with chocolate ganache and covered in Swiss meringue buttercream.
I put the cake on a piece of cardboard covered in aluminum foil because I'm donating this cake and won't be getting the board back.
I cut the Kitkats in half because my cake wasn't that high. I used the rest to cover the top... and ran out before it was done. I put a few crumbs in the middle to make it look like it was on purpose, but I didn't feel like it looked done.
In fact, I had a hard time deciding when it was done. I added some colorful sprinkles for color, placing them between the Kitkat pieces.
I then felt like it needed one more addition to make it Christmasy. So I added a red fondant bow. Merry Christmas.
