This week I was asked to make a Hello Kitty birthday cake for the beautiful Maddy's 3rd birthday. Being more used to pretty girly flowers and sparkles I relished the challenge and was pretty pleased with the result! Maddy knew exactly what she wanted (the right type of customer!) and so I set about creating her special cake. Rather than the image being put on top of a traditional square or round cake I cut out the shape from the backed cake and iced it so the shape of Hello Kitty could be seen. Being a 2D character made it slightly easier to re-create. Then I added the details in different colours and edged it all in black sugarpaste. I have to say, the black really bought it to life and I loved the finished effect. I knew I had succeeded when my husband, who is my harshest critic, told me it was my best cake yet! Perhaps he'd like a hello Kitty cake for his birthday next month!
