Kit Kat M&M Cake

For my son’s 12th birthday, I made this delicious kit kat and M&M cake.  It was so simple and turned out just as I hoped it would.  I baked the cake in two 8 inch round pans.  I  spread chocolate frosting in between the layers and all along the outside.  After the cake was fully frosted it was time to decorate.  I started with the center M&M and began to make circles around it, being careful to not place the same color of candy right next to another.  I kept making M&M circles until the entire surface of the cake was covered.  Then I broke the kit kats in half, so that each piece had two adjoining sticks.  I pressed the double kit kat pieces all around the outside of the cake using the frosting to keep them in place.   A 12 candle completed the look of this amazingly sweet and tasty cake.  My son was very pleased and I think his friends were too! #CommissionsEarnedIMG_7573

Baby Shower Cake Pops

When my friend was pregnant with her second baby, I offered to host her shower and to make some desserts.  “Cake pops” was her main request.  Cake pops are so cute and yummy and perfect for any occasion.  For these baby pink pops I used a boxed white cake mix, vanilla buttercream frosting, pink Wilton’s candy melts, rainbow sprinkles, and white Celebration Sixlets.  To display the cake pops, I bought a circle of styrofoam from Michael’s and decorated it with a simple pink ribbon wrapped around the foam and secured with white straight pins.  Check back later for my tutorial on how to make cake pops.
