Have I mentioned that I love Pinterest? (send me an e-mail if you want an invite!)
It stems from my love of lists..and my love of planning. For years and years I have collected ideas and planned on doing them only to be left with a pile of ideas that I plan to do someday.
That is a part of the reason I started this blog: To give myself an excuse some motivation to finish those long anticipated projects.
I also have been so inspired by all the craft blogs in this great blog world and this is a place to test out those tutorials I have been adding to my pile of projects to be done. It is time for me to start my tutorial testing and my Pinterest planning.
So, at least once a week (that's the plan, anyway) I will work through at least one planned Pinterest project or one waiting to be done tutorial.*
It's going to be so fun!
So, here's where I started.
This cake has been all over Pinterest. It links back to the blog Made in Melissa's Kitchen.
When I saw this, oh....I knew I was looking at my next birthday cake. It is cake, surrounded by Kit Kats (one of my favorites for years!), and topped with M&Ms. Seriously, could it be any better?
I made it on Sunday.
Here is my result:
Underneath it is a chocolate cake (of course)...
I used peanut M&Ms (because they're my favorite).
It was a hit! It is as easy as the tutorial says it will be and so delicious....soooooooo rich (lots and lots of chocolate!).
And here's my niece
With the cake.

Great idea! I think this would work with lots of other chocolate bars and treats - I am always looking for good ideas for edging chocolate cakes instead of my usual Cadbury's flake bars so thanks!
