Since I’m on this Hello Kitty thing, I thought I would post some photos of Emily’s last two birthday treats — both Hello Kitty themed. The cake I designed myself — copying some ideas on the web from other HK cake makers. The skinny licorice is really hard to find — I ended up buying these little rolled-up wheel looking things and then tearing them apart. The cupcake toppers were bought on ebay from a seller in Japan — I’d never seen them before. There are two sets (16 different designs) and each Hello Kitty sits on a little base. I have no idea what I’ll do this year — I’m running out of ideas.

So cute! Love the cake, love the cupcake toppers, but I am truly in love with those squiggly candles. What a great way to make a birthday cute and whimsical. Emily must have been so excited!
