Customize this cake for any occasion, simply by changing out the candies on the top! This Celebration KitKat Cake is super easy, but so impressive!
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.
Cake Ideas
- baby showers (pinks and/or blues)
- birthdays (rainbow!)
- Thanksgiving (brown, green, beige and orange)
- game days (your team colors!)
- anything!
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.
Enlist your children to taste test (super important)

August 25, 2017 at 11:51 amThat 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.

August 26, 2017 at 7:52 amWhat 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 😉

August 27, 2017 at 10:19 amHow 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.

August 28, 2017 at 7:21 amI 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…
