Happy Easter! Hopefull you're reading this as you're sprawled luxuriously on the couch, watching someone else do all the work to prepare for your Easter dinner later. ;)
Most likely, however, you're probably the one in charge of getting dinner together, and if you're like me, you're a huge procrastinator when it comes to entertaining. I swear! I have the best intentions and grandeur ideas, but the prep work and follow-through aren't always executed as well as they could be.
This cake, however, is a procrastinators dream! You can literally get everything you need last minute at your local CVS or Walgreens.
I originally found this recipe on The Organised Housewife, but tweaked it a little to meet my own needs.
There are so many cool tutorials out there on Pinterest, and I couldn't even BEGIN to get into the world of food preparation and photography blogging. I mean, how do they keep their stuff from burning as they stop between steps to get those perfect shots?! Nope, not for me. But I will show you how mine turned out and give you some references so you can make your own this year.
For this project I bought:
Cake mix
Frosting (2 ct) OR Cool Whip
Easter malt eggs (I prefer the pastel colors!)
Kit-Kats
Finish with a bow (I had some on hand)
You can easily do an all white look with white chocolate kit-kat bars, use MnM easter eggs, and switch out frosting for Cool Whip to make it your own. (I did this because the frosting and candy combo were just too sweet the first time!)
