I got an order for a dozen Hello Kitty cupcakes a while back, like the first week in June, excuse me for being so late but I had exams and then I have just been lazy to upload the pictures from my camera. Anyways, here goes!
I used a Betty Crocker Butter Yellow Recipe Cake Mix and altered it a bit, I added a half cup of flour and a teaspoon of vanilla extract! Then I mixed it all together and then lined my cupcake pans... I used the foil cupcake liners because they were more sturdy than the paper liners and they hold the cake much better anyway.
These were the photos of the cupcake liners before they were filled and the photo of the batter added to the liners.
Then it was time to bake these babies, this is the photo after they were finished baking :)
I made a dozen and a couple extras for my family to sample!
Since it was so hot, I decided to wait until it was cooler in the night to start decorating my cupcakes... Before I forget, I used an ice-cream scoop to fill the liners with the batter so all of my cupcakes were the same height and adding to that, they were puffy and looked delicious ;)
I had a container of Betty Crocker Lemon Frosting and decided to colour it red to match the Hello Kitty theme. The frosting also had a tangy taste to it ;)
While the frosting was chilling in the refrigerator, I decided to make some marshmallow fondant using a recipe I snatched from
http://www.megzcakes.ca. I used my mini flower cookie cutter to cut shapes from the newly rolled fondant. After frosting the cupcakes, I added some nonpareil sprinkles and then the flowers!
I printed some Hello Kitty faces I found online and cut them out while my cupcakes were chilling in the refrigerator. I cut out the Hello Kitty shapes and pasted them onto the back of some toothpicks.
These were the finished product. Simple, cute and very easy to make! :) I hope the little girl enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed making them!
