Ingredients
- 2 Chocolate cakes Round, 8x2 each
- 4 cups Chocolate buttercream frosting
- 25-30 Strawberries Washed and sliced in half
- 15 Blackberries washed
- 3-4 Mint leaves Fresh
- 40 Kit Kats
Instructions
- Bake 2 round chocolate cakes. Let them cool down and then cut off the dome.
- Place one cake on a cake stand and frost the top with chocolate buttercream icing.
- Then, place the other cake on top of the icing and press gently so the two cakes stick together.
- Frost your entire cake in chocolate buttercream icing.
- Unwrap all of your Kit-Kat bars and start sticking them around your cake. The frosting acts like glue.
- To hold all the Kit-Kats in place, tie two ribbons around them for extra support.
- Wash your strawberries and blackberries and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Cut your strawberries lengthwise and place them on a paper towel so that all those juices can get absorbed. The last thing you need is drippy strawberries… it can make your cake so soft and “mushy.”
- Arrange the strawberries in a circular pattern on top of the cake. Place the blackberries in the center. Top it all off with few mint leaves. Enjoy!

Notes
- In the video tutorial, I tried something different and arranged the strawberries in an alternate position. I also used one ribbon instead of the two that you see in the pictures. Either way works well and looks nice.
- Use a sturdy cake stand or cake board since this cake will get heavy.
- Since this cake is covered in fruits, keep it refrigerated until you are ready to serve.
