(This will also help keep the Kit Kats in place until the cake is ready to serve).<\/p>\n<h2>Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to take your Kit Kat cake with M&#038;M&#8217;s to the next level, try out some of these fun variations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Vanilla, matcha and raspberry cake:<\/strong> Whip up a vanilla cake mix, cover the cake layers with white frosting, press light green Matcha Kit Kat bars into the sides and top the cake with raspberries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Peanut butter and chocolate cake:<\/strong> Make a chocolate cake, frost it with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/peanut-butter-buttercream-frosting\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/peanut-butter-buttercream-frosting\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">peanut butter buttercream frosting<\/a>, line the outside with Kit Kats and replace the M&#038;M&#8217;s with Reese\u2019s Pieces.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Strawberry lovers cake:<\/strong> Bake a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/mamaw-emily-s-strawberry-cake\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/mamaw-emily-s-strawberry-cake\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">strawberry cake<\/a>, cover it with strawberry frosting, press white chocolate or pink lemonade-flavored Kit Kats into the sides, and top the cake with fresh strawberries. Brush apricot jam on the strawberries for extra shine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Kit Kat Cake<\/h2>\n<p>You can store your Kit Kat cake with M&#038;M&#8217;s covered in storage wrap in the refrigerator for up to a week\u2014though we\u2019d be surprised if it wasn\u2019t eaten long before then! You could also store slices in an airtight container. Press storage wrap on any exposed parts of the cake that have been sliced so the cake doesn\u2019t dry out.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze Kit Kat cake?<\/h3>\n<p>While you can freeze Kit Kat cake, we don\u2019t recommend freezing it with the Kit Kats or M&#038;M&#8217;s on it. The colors on the M&#038;M&#8217;s will run once the M&#038;M&#8217;s thaw, and the Kit Kats will bloom and get unsightly white spots all over them. To properly freeze the cake, take off the candy and wrap the cake in storage wrap. Freeze the cake for up to two months, then thaw it in the fridge overnight or on the countertop for an hour or so.<\/p>\n<h2>Kit Kat Cake Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2048074\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/kit_kat_cake_FT21_F_0104_5.jpg\" alt=\"Kit Kat Cake on a cake stand; marble background;\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Sarah Tramonte\/Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do I serve Kit Kat cake?<\/h3>\n<p>Unwrap your present of a cake by releasing the bow. When you cut into your cake, you\u2019re bound to have some runaway M&#038;M&#8217;s, so don\u2019t cut it on the very edge of a counter. The spacing between your wafers should make cutting even pieces of cake a breeze.<\/p>\n<p>To make clean cuts, run a sharp chef\u2019s knife under warm water, wipe away the water with a clean towel and make your first cut. Repeat these steps until you\u2019ve cut all the pieces. It\u2019s not at all necessary to do this, but you\u2019ll have gorgeous, precise cuts of cake!<\/p>\n<h3>How else can I fill the top of the Kit Kat cake?<\/h3>\n<p>Instead of filling the top of the Kit Kat cake with M&#038;M&#8217;s, you can use mini-Oreos, chocolate shavings, broken-up pieces of Kit Kats or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/chocolate-dipped-strawberries\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/chocolate-dipped-strawberries\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">chocolate-covered strawberries<\/a>. Fill the top with red and pink candy if this cake is for your Valentine, or create an Easter scene by filling the top with green-dyed coconut shavings, Peeps and robins egg candy.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use my own cake and frosting recipes?<\/h3>\n<p>Absolutely! We suggest a box mix and premade frosting only to keep this Kit Kat cake super easy.
