Kit Kat M&M Cake



Totally pretty and colorful, and kinda of impressive if you ask me... but most importantly, EASY to make.  


You Will Need:


2 boxes of cake mix.  I used Yellow Cake - you can use whatever your heart desires.
36 Kit Kat sticks (the regular sized ones, not the snack size).
12.6oz bag of M&M's - any color.  
2 tubs of icing - your choice - vanilla, buttercream, chocolate, etc...


Instructions:


Follow the instructions on the box to make two 8inch round cakes.


When the cakes are cooled, ice between, around and on top.


Next place all 36 Kit Kats in a ring around the cake. They will stick to the icing.


And finally, pour your bag of M&M's in and you are done!


You can change up the colors for whatever holiday, celebration or taste you'd like. 
Red for Valentines, green for St. Patricks Day, etc.. 
Most recipes i've seen online for this cake have a pretty matching ribbon tied around the Kit Kat part. I had no ribbon today. It would have just come off anyways.
The cake was absolutely fancy with total non fancy effort!
