Hello Kitty Cake

What a busy week it’s been! We had our second birthday(s) celebration at my in-law’s yesterday….there was 17 of us!!!! I made a double batch of my Broccoli & Asiago Cheese soup, and 3 little quiches to take…. as well as a cake that I will post later this week. The cake alone will take 3 posts for all the steps but it was a fun experiment! And I have a back log of about 10 posts I need to actually type!!!

With last week being Dillon’s (my now 26 year old son, if anyone isn’t aware of it) birthday…. and being the resident smart ass lol… I thought I would make him a joke birthday cake. I honestly do not remember where it started…. but for years at every birthday, Christmas and occasions such as those, Dillon receives at least one Hello Kitty gift. One year I made him a Hello Kitty first aid kit, it could be something little like a cookie cutter, ice cube tray, whatever but always something Hello Kitty.

When I baked the cakes for the birthday cake for Sunday, I made one extra round layer to use for Dillon’s birthday cake. I used the pieces I cut off the layers to make them sit even and made him this Hello Kitty cake lol. When he got home from work that day I told him to check in the fridge at the awesome birthday cake I made for him. He took one look and just burst out laughing. Thankfully he is used to his mom’s strange sense of humour!

The first thing I did was to cut the pieces I had cut to even the layers into triangles and stacked them to form the “ears” on the cake.

I covered the whole cake in white icing, and smoothed it out.

I added a yellow Smartie for the nose….

Tinted a little icing black and used it to outline the nose, add the eyes and whiskers, and then to outline the whole cake (not terribly straight as you can see lol).
