What you need for an Easy Nerf Gun Cake:

• Box of cake mix baked into 2 – 8 inch round cakes
• 2 containers of frosting, I used chocolate
• 12 Kit Kat Bars
• 400g Bag of M&Ms
• Nerf Dart (a clean one!)
• Toothpick
• Ribbon

How to Make an Easy Nerf Gun Cake

1. Bake the two  8 inch round cakes according to package instructions.  Allow to cool before icing
2. Place 1 cake on your cake board, I put strips of wax paper around the edges so that I can slide it out once it is iced and keep the cake board clean.  Iced the top of the first cake.
3. Add the second layer on top, and frost the entire cake liberally.
4. Break the Kit kats in half so each piece has 2 “sticks” of kit kat.  Carefully place the kit kats around the cake.  Press gently into the icing on the sides of the cake.  Tie a ribbon around the kit kats in a bow.
5. Separate the yellow, orange and blue M&Ms into bowls
6. Start in the centre and make a small circle using yellow M&Ms
7. Continue a to decorate the top of the cake with a ring of Orange M&M’s
8. Finish off the top of the cake with blue M&M’s
9. Using a strong toothpick or skewer push into the foam part of the dart and place into the cake
10. Serve and enjoy by cutting into slices with 2 kit kats per piece.

If you are looking for a Nerf Gun Birthday Cake then look no further.  This cake makes at least 20 servings when cut into 2 kit kat sticks per slice.  This cake is EASY, there are no special pans or tools required.  Watch for sales leading up to your Nerf wars party to pick up the Kit Kats and M&M’s .

Those left over M&M’s make for a great after party snack or can be baked into cookies or other goodies. 

And the Nerf Cake Topper can’t be any easier then the one on this cake!  Make sure you have a clean dart or grab one out from one of your new nerf guns to use before the kids start sending them flying.

Kit Kat Cakes are versatile and can be be turned into so many different themes including a Canada Day Cake, or Easy Elegant Birthday Cake.

I also ordered some Nerf themed sugar cookies to go with our cake and for the children to take home as a treat.

The rifles, shotguns, revolvers and so on. We have seen these in movies used by our super-favourite action heroes or in actual life by police and army who protect us. What a thrill to see an action series!  Even when we play video games, we have used such game tools. Guns have the history of many centuries and they have always got modified for fighting against enemies.

For people who enjoy some adventure, action in their life will definitely love this cake on their spacial occasion. These cakes look exactly like a real gun or rifle, you’ll hardly be able to see the difference. You’ll see the wedding cakes with a rifle as the topper on it as it was made for the army officer’s wedding. How cool is that! You’ll also see a gaming gun-themed cake for kids.

So take a look at it-
