  • Pour the milk syrup over the cake slowly. You might not want to do as much as I did.
  • Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. Remove from fridge after it has set.
  • Remove outer ring. Frost top and sides of cake. This is where I had problems with the frosting sliding around.

  • Unwrap and place Kit Kats around the outside of the cake. You will have to push them up against. Use baker's twine to hold together. Fill in the top with more frosting to reach the top of the Kit Kats.
