My brain went completely blank with this cake. I forgot to take any pictures before I stacked the cake. It is a chocolate cake with raspberry filling (everyone is asking for this cake lately) and chocolate buttercream frosting for both layers. I used store bought Dark Chocolate frosting to make the mud on the top of the chocolate cake layers because my chocolate buttercream wasn't dark enough.
The cake mimics a wooden barrel with pigs swimming inside enjoying a mud bath. The Kit Kats on the outside of the cake do a good job making the cake layers look like a barrel. I love that I didn't have to be super careful with smoothing out the frosting because it was hidden. It saved me a lot of time.
It took me about an hour and a half to frost, stack, Kit Kat and decorate with pigs.
Given how easy it was to put together, the cake looks very fancy. It is one of the cutest cakes I have made.
My favorite part is the pig butts sticking out of the "mud." I cannot wait to meet the little munchkin!
