WARNING !!!
There is NOTHING Paleo about this birthday cake!!! I made it for Conrad's son's 16th birthday. He's a "carboholic" and a "chocoholic" ... I'm working on him ... He's often an official taster for my recipes!
I'm not really going to post a recipe because you can use whatever flavors of cake and icing you want. The Kit Kats and M&Ms cover it all up anyway! Here's a photo progression of how I made and decorated the cake.
The new birthday cake platter ...
Layer #1 of oooey-goooey chocolate cake ...
What I'll use to decorate the cake ...
Layer #1 is iced.
Layer #2 is miraculously in place ... Don't ask! lol
Cake is iced.
Kit Kats are in place. (This is a 9" cake and it took 5 1/2 large [double] sized bars to go all the way around.)
Tied the ribbon to hold it all together.
I was even able to find this small "Happy Birthday" ribbon, so I glued it on.
M&Ms are in place ...
"Happy Birthday" is in place ...
The 1 and 6 are in place ...
Pokeys, Pokeys everywhere!
Yeah, he looks pretty darned happy!
He could NOT stop thanking me for this cake!
I used two layers of triple chocolate lava cake, so you can see why I say it's oooey-goooey!
All in all, I think he had a very good birthday!
PS - I did eat a small piece of this cake and to be honest I felt like CRAP afterwards! Eating good, Paleo recipes for the entire month of January! I'll be working on a suitable PALEO substitute for a chocolate cake before I have to bake another one!
