Let Us Eat {birthday} Cake!

I wanted to do the Kit Kat/M&M's cake (as you can see HERE from my husbands 30th birthday) with a new twist.  White chocolate Kit Kats, and fun M&M's that D. picked out on our visit to M&M World in Las Vegas. We also tied in Hotwheels, his favorite thing!
My sisters little boy was diagnosed with Burkitt's Lymphoma over Christmas.  Because of his illness he was selected to be a part of Icing Smiles, "Icing Smiles is a nonprofit organization that provides custom celebration cakes and other treats to families impacted by the critical illness of a child."

Brittany, with  Cravin' Cake Bakery, in Las Vegas took on Caleb's cake.  Here it is.



I recycled the bottom layer (that was fondant covered foam, since a 3rd tier would have exceeded the cake needs for Caleb's brithday.)  For D's cake.  It certainly added to the coolness of the "candy coma" cake I made.



To do this cake of your own, all you need is to bake and frost a  2-9inch cakes as you normally would, then place Kit Kats (full sized) split in half, around cake.  I ended up using 10.5 Kit Kats.  Top with M&M's or other favorite candy.  Tie off with a ribbon to keep candies on.  Enjoy!
