Kit-Kat Cake

I made this cake for my daughter's 4th birthday. This was the cake we cut on her actual birthday, but for her party in a few weeks she has requested a mermaid cake.

The mud cake I made was a simple mudcake (ok, it was the packet mudcake from Aldi). Once that cooled, I spread the top of the cake with a thin layer of chocolate ganache (chocolate and cream over the stove top, stirred until melted).

I then started placing the kit kats around the cake, tying it with the first ribbon to keep them from falling down. I then poured the remainder of the chocolate ganache on top until it was flat, and placed the maltesers and smarties on top.

It's a fairly simple cake, although it's a tad fiddly.

Everyone loved it!
