Shaped Kit Kat Cake for Valentine&#8217;s Day"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Whether you are a lover or hater of Valentine&#8217;s day, you&#8217;re bound to love this cake because it&#8217;s full of candy, and lined with WHITE Kit Kats! \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For whatever reason, I wasn&#8217;t able to find the white KitKats in Canada. \u00a0For those of you that might find yourself with the same problem, I got the white KitKats on a recent trip to the US. \u00a0Being so close to the border, I find that it&#8217;s super easy to order things that we don&#8217;t have in Canada, and have them shipping to a shipping outlet five minutes from the Canadian border. \u00a0It&#8217;s awesome. \u00a0And deadly at the same time. \u00a0It&#8217;s quite an addiciting habbit. \u00a0With Target pulling out of Canada, shopping is incredibly sparse in my city, so if it means I have to drive an hour or so to pick up packages from the USA, I&#8217;m willing to do so. \u00a0All for the sake of the videos. \u00a0All for you. \u00a0ALL FOR YOU PEOPLE!!! \u00a0Hahaha . . . that is true, but I <em>might<\/em> have an obsession with online shopping. \u00a0Maybe. \u00a0Why do they have to make it so easy!?!?!?<\/p>\n<p>For the candy topping, you could use whichever your favourite candies are, themed with Valentine colours. \u00a0Of course, you could make this for another occasion, and it would look just as awesome- I&#8217;m thinking Halloween, Easter, Christmas, or even a rainbow theme!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For the heart shaped cake, I used my favourite cake recipe, divided it in half like I would for any 8&#8243; or 9&#8243; pan, and baked them for about 45 minutes at 350. \u00a0I think I had too much batter in the pan which is why I had to bake them for so long. \u00a0The heart cake pan comes in a variety of sizes, so when you&#8217;re working with your batter, I just advise you to start watching it at 30 minutes. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When I&#8217;m choosing ribbon to use with cakes, for something like this, I went with a larger sized one. \u00a0I also stay away from the ones that are &#8220;Wired&#8221;, since they tend to crinkle, and don&#8217;t lay flat on the cakes. \u00a0They might be better for making bows, but aint&#8217; nobody got time for that!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Sp5MEefL-BY\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\"
