This was for my daughter’s 4th birthday. I had ordered a Hello Kitty cake tin but it never arrived in time so I took the nerve-wracking step of constructing HK’s form from white layer cakes.
I used two white layer cakes using this recipe…
They were perfect – really yummy and great to cut and work with. I kept one layer whole and used a photocopy of Hello Kitty’s head to cut out the shape from the other cake. I placed that on top, then I crumb coated the whole thing in buttercream using this great recipe… (especially great if you really want a good, bright white).
After tinting the frosting I then began piping the top white part first, using a star-shaped tip, then the pink part, and lastly the bow. To mark where the bow was I cut the bow out of the original image I cut around and placed in on the cake so I could pipe around it. When I was ready to apply the purple I peeled the bow off and piped in the space.
I finished it off with some liqourice straps for details. I used a Wilton black gel pen to fill in the liqourice border for the eyes and a yellow one to fill in the liquorice straps that made the border for the nose.
Just before serving I wrote my daughter’s name and “Hello Kitty!” down the sides of the serving board, and added candles.

That is a very cool cake. You are so clever!
just lovely thanks for sharing how you made it :)
My 2yr old daughter, Quinlynne, has fallen in love with Hello Kitty (Or as she calls her, “My Itty”) & I’ve been looking everywhere on complete how-to direction. I’m very happy to find a “from scratch” HK template. I’ve tried those cake preshaped cake pans, but they never seem to work out the way I’d like them to. I’m a give me every step kinda gal & your site really helped me understand where I need to go. I’m beginning to wonder about making little kitty cakes for each guest. Now, any help with the red Power Ranger for my son?(they both have sunner b-days so we celebrate after school year starts) I’ll probably test them both out using your technique this weekend.
