Hello Kitty Cake

This is a cake that I did for my good friend's daughter who turned 6 in February. For a first attempt at doing "Hello Kitty" I think this turned out great! I used Wilton Paste Colors for the frosting, however, the black color paste actually turned out a more dark brown than black. Hence, the outline of Hello Kitty is in dark brown.

For 'Kitty purists, her nose is actually supposed to be yellow and it is indeed brown because of a small oversight on my part! If you are wondering how I managed to get 'Kitty looking so perfect, no, it was not done free hand but rather I got my husband to print out a picture of 'Kitty I got off the internet and he cut the outline of the design for me. (Thanks darling!)

Also as you can see, the writing is a little crooked.......I really did not have much time left so this was done in haste. Had I more time, I would have traced the script and done my piping over it. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve my writing please feel free to drop me a line. I would be well pleased with any helpful advice.

I was very happy with the finished product and the butter cake under the heaps of frosting was superb. Moist and a lovely molten shade of yellow - quite unlike the beast of a cake I did for Anoush' which was slightly more brown because I left it in the oven a few minutes extra.

I received lots of good feedback for this cake that I made and I thank God for giving me the patience and strength.
