I’ve been poorly now for a few days and that along with not being able to see has made me pretty cranky!
So, my sister came to stay for a couple of days. She brought with her some tasty biscuits from my mum to cheer me up and mountains of washing I left at home! She also brought her impressive baking knowledge.
I’m not a very good baker, my last cake came out part cake/part pancake.
It looked impressive but tasted awful!
Anyway…we came across this beautiful cake on Pinterest and decided to attempt it. Pinterest is so great for inspiration like that!
We managed to find the original baker – you can have a look at her making it here
I didn’t get too close to the actual baking, it would have ended up a flu bug cake.
We followed a traditional sponge cake recipe. The one we followed was one of Delia Smiths, can you find it here.
Our extras
Chocolate ‘kit Kat’ style biscuits
Smarties
Chocolate frosting
Strawberry jam
After baking our two layers we let them cool for around 30 minutes.
Once cool, we spread the strawberry jam out for the filling and put the two halves together.
Once together we spread the chocolate frosting all over.
We then stuck the chocolate Kit Kat biscuits all around the edge. They stuck well because of the chocolate frosting.
Once they had been stuck all around (it took 24 packets altogether!) we poured the smarties and chocolate eggs on top.
We finished off with a ribbon
And heres a little video. (My very first YouTube video!!)…
We didnt want to cut it – it just looked too good! It looked great and was really simple to put together.
It would be a great idea for a birthday cake or even an easter cake!
Its Only Erica 
That looks amazing!
I really want to try making it 🙂
Thank you 🙂 It was really easy – you just need a lot of frosting on the outside to stick the Kit Kats. Cant wait to see it!
I’m almost speechless. That is a masterpiece! I’ve put your video on my Facebook page.
You’re so kind! Thank you!
Now, THAT is what I call a cake! I can imagine buying 24 Kit Kats though! That must have raised a couple of eyebrows 😉
haha! Luckily we had two small children with us and used self checkout!!
24 Kit Kats and a massive tub of smarties 🙂
I think it could be regarded as child abuse 😉
They’re parents weren’t too thrilled when it came to bed time – they were a little to hyper from all the sugar!
What an awesome cake and the video was great! The cake looks like something found on a splendid Mad Hatter tea table.
Thank you 🙂 I never thought of it as a mad hatter esk cake, I suppose it is a little mad! Glad you liked the video!
