Hot tub cake recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs

- 2 (16 ounce) containers blue frosting (or vanilla frosting tinted with blue food coloring)
- 20 inches black ribbon
- 3 Barbie dolls, legs removed
Directions:
Bake two round cakes following the directions on the box. Once the cakes have been baked and cooled, you can start assembling.

2. Place the first layer of cake on the base and frost the top.
3. Place the second layer of cake on top of the frosted layer.

4. Frost the sides, making sure that there is enough frosting to hold the Kit Kats in place but not so much that it squishes out when the candies are placed.
5. Place the Kit Kat bar segments around the cake vertically (like you’re building a fence).
6. Tie a ribbon around the Kit Kats to help keep them in place.
7. Using a piping bag, pipe frosting over the top of the cake.
7. Using an offset spatula, spread the frosting roughly so it resembles water.

8. After removing the legs from the dolls, press them into the cake, taking care not to place them too close to the edge of the cake.
9. Use the offset spatula to fix the frosting around the dolls.
