Candy Themed Birthday Party- The Party Cakes

Who wants dessert?!?!
I'm back today with all of the party treat details!

Supplies

Kit-Kat cake:  For this cake I used a devil's food mix and chocolate icing.  Kit-Kats (of course 😁)  were used to cover the sides of the cake and pastel marshmallows served as the topping.

The idea for the Kit-Kat cake came from Pinterest.  Baby Girl and I saw lots of photos of similar cakes, but most of them featured Skittles or M&Ms as the topping.  Since our party color palette featured pastels, we decided to use marshmallows instead.

For the cupcakes I used Funfetti cake mix and icing, lollipops and more of the marshmallows.

First up, the large cake:

Step 1

I baked my cakes as usual (click  here to read more) 

and layered them with a bit of chocolate icing in between.

Step 2

After layering, I went ahead and gave the entire cake a good coat of chocolate icing.

Tip:  Keep your Kit-Kat candies in the freezer during this part.  The colder the candies, the less likely you are to smudge them with your fingerprints 😉 

Step 4

After applying a bit of icing to the back of a Kit-Kat, begin adhering them to the cake in a linear fashion.

Side Note:  I made sure that the Kit-Kat printing on each candy was going in the same direction.  It's little details like these that really make the difference in overall appearance 😊

Here is  a photo showing what it looked like when all of the Kit-Kats were in place.  Don't worry about any imperfections, such as the spaces between some of the candies, they won't be noticeable once the topping is in place.

Step 5

I added a bit of curling ribbon using colors from our design theme.
This isn't a necessary step, I just thought it would look cute 😊

Step 6

Top the cake with a pile of pretty marshmallows, and you're done!

Mini Cake

As usual, I made a mini version of the main cake.
The only difference for this cake was that I cut the Kit-Kats in half before sticking them on.

Lollipop Cupcake

  Most of the cupcakes featured marshmallows on top with a lollipop in the center.

These sprinkle filled lollipops were found at Dollar Tree and tasted like birthday cake 😍

Sprinkle Cupcake

The rest of the cupcakes I topped with pastel sprinkles (that came with the Funfetti icing)
and a gold candle from my candle supply.
