I did mine on the morning of the party, but I’m sure the day before would be fine too – cover the cake and keep it in a cool, dry place.

Thanks for emailing me your cake photo – it turned out great! The types of chocolate/candy bars doesn’t matter – it will always taste awesome!

Couldn’t get any Flakes over here in USA so used Twix instead. And Kinder eggs aren’t the same so just used extra white chocolate. Everyone was very impressed. Would gladly send a photo but not on any of the social media you mention.

Hi Joanna

Because I used ready-made cakes that had frosting on them, I didn’t bother to put icing between the cakes. But you can certainly put some between the layers if you want to!

That is the exact cake I used! I actually used two cakes stacked on top of each other.

It’s been a while since I made the cake, but I do believe I just slapped some frosting on the back of the Kit Kats and that was enough to stick them to the sides of the cake.

I hope this helps and please share your finished cake with me, I’d love to see how it turned out!

I am going to be short on time so have decided to buy a cake and decorate it like you did. You mentioned you got yours from Tesco – was it this one?

Just wondering whether the kitkats would stick to the sides or if I would have to put extra frosting all down the sides too? Thanks!

Have you got the oven at the correct temperature? Have you been opening the oven a lot? There are all reasons why it might still be wobbly – just keep cooking it! Maybe place some foil on top so it doesn’t burn too much!

On this cake I used ready-made frosting (Betty Crocker). You can find my frosting recipe here: https://www.thepurplepumpkinblog.co.uk/red-white-60th-birthday-cupcakes/ – I always use equal measures of butter and icing sugar.

Are Matchmakers gluten free? Or what about a load of Buttons around the edge of the cake? When you make it, please share it with me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram (#thepurplepumpkinblog) as I would LOVE to see it!

My son is 18 in June so I will be attempting this but will just have to source everything which is gluten free so the Kit Kat surround is out which is a shame but I’ll think of something else.
