The Hello Kitty cake that I made was for my niece. She was only 2, so I had no idea what she was into, so I decided to make her a cake that looked like something all girls like. Me being a male, I had a really hard time with Hello Kitty.

I have made the envy of all birthday cakes for younger girls and some older women. This is a 99.99999999% edible Hello Kitty cake. The only thing not edible on Hello Kitty is the toothpick holding the bow together.

I used a 13×9 inch pan and I free handed an oval and two ears. The flavor was chocolate with diced cherries and coconut, a flavor that you would never expect just by looking at it. I used about three layers of frosting. After each layer, I put the cake in the fridge and added the next layer. This way, it would be easier to make the cake smoother. The reason I did not go for fondant is because I forgot to buy the ingredients and the supermarket was closed.

The bow is made out of a strawberry yogo. I made two loops, two tails, and a middle piece and used a toothpick to hold it in place.

What made this cake really stand out was the black icing to line the cake. Without the black lining, the cake looks incomplete.

I almost forgot to mention how I made the whiskers. If you haven’t already noticed, the whiskers are made out of Pockys. A total of three Pockys were used.
