Kitkat Barrel Cake [pictures]




My love for baking is huge. I thought of sharing this cake with you all, I made on my brother's birthday last month, it turned out irresistible. It is VERY easy to make.


All you need to do is make butter or sponge cake, I made chocolate fudge frosting (you can make any buttercream/frosting of your choice), make walls of Kitkat, fill in with your favorite candies. I used Galaxy Counters. And tadaa! :D
