Bring Your Own Insulin Birthday Cake

So when it came time to do the actual cake, I discovered that the kids were using my round cake pans for other things. I decided to just go ahead and use square pans. Not the greatest idea, since the kit kats were of a mind to fall away more easily. The ribbon I put on it helped, but all the candy wanted to run amok as well.

Since we really liked the idea of a candyland theme with the amount of sweets going into everything, that's how the cake got done up, with no M&M's. Put together, it was a devil's food cake, two layers, with Nutella as the internal frosting filler. I used fudge frosting on the top and sides. 11 kitkat bars to surround it. The topping decorations consisted of rainbow Nerds, Sixlet candies, chocolate chip cookie dough bites covered in chocolate, sour patch kids and rainbow Twizzlers.

So needless to say, the kids loved it absolutely. My brother even whined until I agreed to put a piece in the freezer for him to give to him the next time we could.
