hello? hello! hello, kitty.

Sooooooo….it’s been a little quiet around here, I know.  Our February round of colds hit the house this week, which means these hands have been doing a lot of baby holding and not so much typing!  Fortunately, I was able to get in a tiny bit of craftin’ time!

When my girlfriend, Lisa, sent me an email to see if I was interested in making Hello Kitty treats for her daughter’s birthday party, I jumped at the chance to play!  After my newfound love for Cake Pops, I did a quick search on Bakerella’s blog for “Hello Kitty” and what do you know?  OF COURSE she had the cutest hello kitty cake pops with all the details on how to make them.  Click here for the full how-to. 
Lisa found most of the supplies at the local cake supply shop, but finding the little yellow candy-covered chips for the noses and the large heart candies for Miss Kitty’s bow presented a challenge.  While someday I’d love to place a massive order for all kinds of fun little candies on the internet, now is not the time, and the shipping charges are outrageous for a little jar of candies.  Lisa found this pre-colored “Icing Writer” at Joann’s and brought along a whole spread of little Hello Kitty noses.  Aren’t they great?  They hardened like royal icing and they glued right on with a little melted candy coating.  

To make the bows, we melted a handful of red candy coating pieces in a plastic baggy, taped the corner, and snipped a tiny hole.  Working right on the kitty pops, we piped two hearts meeting at the points, and then popped on the mini-M&M.  I think it was the perfect stand-in for the candy hearts.  I did a little step-by-step on a piece of paper for you so you can see what I’m talkin’ about:

    Aw, these pops are so cute!  The girls are really getting into this Cake Pop thing.  The other day when they were leaving for the gym with their daddy, Olivia said to me, “Mom, since we’ll be gone, you could just sew or something, OR, can you make some of those pop things for us, pleeeeeeeease?” 

Oh, which ones to make next?  I think we’re giving out cake pops for our Valentines this year!

    So cute! I’ve actually been looking for a good Hello Kitty cake pop tutorial, so thank you for sharing. We are going to a Hello Kitty birthday party this Saturday and I hate showing up empty handed.
