Get your party on with this Celebration KitKat Cake!
I LOVED making this cake, not because it was super complicated, or difficult at ALL, but because I got this beauty… quickly, and easily. I would say this took me about 15 minutes to do.
OKAY, so I totally cheated and used a store bought cake. You can make one from scratch (I recommend this one) if you must, but I was low on time and high on creativity.
Choosing different color candies, different ribbons and bows could give a totally different look. Fairy princesses – go with purple ribbon, and pink/white/purple Sixlets Chocolatey Candies. You are only limited by your imagination!
Cake Ideas
- baby showers (pinks and/or blues)
- birthdays (rainbow!)
- Thanksgiving (brown, green, beige and orange)
- game days (your team colors!)
- anything!
I went with a more masculine theme, using a mix from Celebration by Frey, including their Googlie Eyes Gumballs, because… well, I have little boys and who doesn’t love googlie eyes??

The simple process:
Break the kitkats, but keep the pieces in order (makes fitting them together on the cake more even). You can do 2s or singles, it won’t matter. Fit them to the outside of the cake, they’ll stick to the frosting easily.
Tie with a ribbon, and add a bow. Fill the top with your choice of Celebration by Frey MixLicious, Sixlets Chocolatey Candies and Googlie Eyes Gumballs.

valmg @ From Val's Kitchen says
That cake looks terrific! I love how simply you can customize it to suit a particular occasion by changing which candies you put in there. Only one proble, I love Kit Kats so I’d need to buy twice as many, I work on the one for the dish one for the chef motto.

What a fantastic cake! I love that you have your little man helping out as well! My kids would go bananas over this!! There are just so many ways to decorate it, but I will admit I love the blue/yellow/white colour scheme you have going on. And I agree – it’s definitely a must to have your kids taste test as you go along 😉

How adorable!! It’s a fantastic idea and the Kit Kats around the cake makes it so special. I can really picture this as a great Halloween dessert. I’m thinking of other holidays and how to decorate.
Manila Spoon says
I have seen this kitkat cake all over but have never dared to make it as I thought it would be too complicated and glad to know it’s not!! Looks so festive and celebratory indeed!!

I used to LOVE Sixlets as a kid. I would be all over this cake. I’ve seen similar styles before, but I feel like mine would come out way messier, hah…
