About a month or so ago MM brought over a guy that he worked with who was in need of a cake- his daughter was turning 5 and was having a Hello Kitty themed birthday. Of course, (as all men should know) he knew his wife needed the final say, so a few quick words, a handshake and a business card later he said his wife would be getting in touch.
A few weeks later a couple of emails were shared, a phone call was made and the order was placed- a Hello Kitty themed cake and two dozen Hello Kitty cupcakes.
Remember the Animal Birthday cake I made for Lucas? Well that cake and this one were being delivered the same day, not 30 minutes apart, which meant lots of time management when it came to all the decorations.
About the same time that I started working on all the animals, I also started working on these little Hello Kitty heads.
I searched high and low for a character cookie cutter, but since no such luck was to be had, I had to resort to individually hand cutting fondant into heads, eyes, noses and bows... talk about time consuming.. as our friend that's staying with us watched me, she likened it to an assembly line of Hello Kitty's.
I was so happy with the final product, but more importantly the birthday girl, Haley was happy too!
As for me.. I'm headed east for dress shopping tomorrow!!
I hope you all have a lovely rest of the week and weekend too :) Wish me luck!
Happy Baking!!

So cute! Wonderful job.
So cute!! I love it!
Adorable! Looks like a lot of work on those little kitties!
Those are adorable. My daughter and niece would flip for them.
ahh these are giving me flashbacks of the hello kitty cucpakes i did last summer for a 4 year old girl's bday party! except, i piped the HK faces out of candy melts... your fondant ones look a whole lot nicer! it is a lot of work but when you put them together all in a row it looks awesome! btw, i tried searching for HK cutters too... no such luck!
Those are so cute! What a good job you did! I am sure any little girl would just be thrilled with that, not to mention one that is a Hello Kitty fan. :-)
These look awesome! I feel for you though...cutting out fondant anything takes FOREVER! I once made 40 cupcakes for a party and each one had a custom fondant decoration on top. Talk about hours spend cutting and creating. Thanks for the great idea!
Very cute!! did u use gumpaste or acutal fondant?
Congrats on giving out your first biz card! You made some little girls very happy, I'm sure.
Thanks so much everyone!!
@Mr &Mrs P- I used fondant for everything.. I'm still learning the ways of gumpaste :)
These are adorable! I am sending this to my friend who is a HUGE HK fan!
These are beyond adorable and would make my almost 18 year old daughter very happy too. I can only imagine how time consuming cutting all of those kitty heads by hand must have been and your main cake is fabulous looking. Too bad you don't live in Arizona, I'd hire you too :o)
These are so super cute! You are so amazingly talented. I know who to call!
Great job! I HATE cutting fondant by hand - you have so much more patience than I! So cute!
OMG These are adorable!! I love Hello Kitty! You did an awesome job even without a cookie cutter.
Don't show these to my nieces or they will begging for them. So cute, I bet that took a long time. Can't wait to hear about the dress shopping, are you going to show up pics and let us choose? Hope you week is going great.

Evan, you're a marvel. I'm so glad that Dudette prefers Spiderman over Hello Kitty, but seeing those cupcakes makes me yearn for the girlie girl likes once in a while. How cute they are.
Have your fingers uncramped yet from all that exacto knife work? Wow.
