Hello Kitty

Last night Jesika and I made a cake for a little lady (Maddie) who is turning 5 years old. The mother, Shaha, requested a Hello Kitty cake. I googled and she googled and then we both had this plan in our heads. Come to find out, it wasn't the same plan. I have since made a mental note to ask how many people will be eating this cake. (sorry Shaha) So, Jesika and I get busy building the cake according to the plan I had in my head and the requests from Shaha. We got the base of it done and I was just not sure how we were going to put this large Hello Kitty head on top. Ugh. So we sit and stare and think and stare and I'm about to tell Shaha it dropped on the floor and she will need to get one from Albertson's. I was getting very discouraged. Then Jesika, dear sweet Jesika says "lets put it right here in the front". So we lean the head up and take a look and it is going to work! I cut the shape of ears and part of the bow and then we got to frosting the head. After a long night and lots of frosting everywhere, we came up with this final little Hello Kitty. All the sides are not perfectly even and the frosting isn't smooth everyhwere, but that only gets better with practice. Shaha was happy with it and I think the birthday girl will love it too! I also made a matching tutu for Maddie to wear at her party. What do you think?!
