March and April are birthday months in our house and I try to be frugal in the area of birthdays too.  We have replaced the high cost…not so great taste of some store bought cakes with creative, tasty, homemade cakes.  I will be featuring this year’s birthday cakes over the next few weeks.  This is the cake my son requested for his 13th birthday.  Happy Birthday Garreth!

This is one of the little 5 inch cakes I made for a gift.
First you bake two round cakes.  I have done 9 inch ones and little, approximately 5 inch ones (for gifts).

so pretty aren’t they?
Then use 1-11/2 tubs of chocolate frosting and frost between the layers and the entire cake.

Sorry about the blurry picture.  I was shaking with excitement.
Can’t wait to eat me some chocolate!



Finally just line up the kit kats on the outside of the cake.  This is a nine inch cake and it took a six pack of kit kats to go all the way around.  I just found a ribbon and tied it around the cake and poured a 10-12 ounce bag of M&Ms on top.

Beautiful, easy, and delicious!!!

Last summer I came across this super chocolaty cake at  Life in My PJs and have made it several times since then.
