Hello Kitty Birthday Cake

My 2 year old daughter loves cats. She cannot get enough of them, but when it came to making a birthday cake that included one, I was stuck. It was then that I noticed a Hello Kitty toy in her room and loved how simple it was to recreate. It requires very few colors of frosting, and is a virtually fool-proof way of making a kitty cake.

I started with a sheet cake and used a cake decorating tip from the grocery store. After frosting the entire cake, I simply dotted the frosting in star shaped blobs in the shape of the Hello Kitty face. I made the outlines first and then filled in with lots of tiny blobs of frosting.

It was a major hit at the party. I also bought a miniature cake at the store, and frosted a tiny version to match. That way, she could dig right into her cake without destroying what would be served to the guests.
