The Great Street Bake Off

Every year we have a street party and every year we get a bit competitive. We've had scarecrow competitions, challenges to design our own Coat of Arms and this year its a bake off. With a Pampered Chef spatula as a prize its piping bags at dawn.

I've had my eye on this Kitkat and M&M cake that keeps cropping up on Pinterest for a while and this seemed the perfect opportunity to bring it out. I needed special cake to catch the eye of our judge, the local baker.

I adapted it slightly and used smarties (purely because I love smarties), it took 17 kitkats and 4 tubes of smarties.

So this is my cake....
I had all these sweets in my house for a week! I've got willpower!
And this is the competition.....


If you were a judge which would you pick?

The result? Of course the Death Star won, it was in a league of its own. Anyway, I was on the winning quiz team and my daughter was runner up for this funny hat, so I'm not complaining!

  1. I have seen that kit Kat cake on google and pinterest too and I will be pinning yours for sure!
    The death star is very clever (how to make a round ball shaped cake?) as is the angry birds one BUT yours is so pretty and I would be happy to receive it x x
    Thanks for linking up

    1. I have no clue how to make a round cake, maybe clever carving? When it came to eating the cakes after the competition mine was the one everyone wanted to eat, so I'll be proud of it for that
