Kitty Cake



My sister gives me a call and proceeds to tell me that she wants me to make a cake for her friend at school. She tells me they want to give her a “Hello Kitty” cake with musical notes.

So sure, I say I will. I can do that, I’ll go and get one of the shaped pans and will be no big deal.

“We need it by Thursday.”

Well, there goes that plan! Seeing that it is Monday, I am stuck at work until 8 in the morning, and I have so much to get done that there is no way I can go get that pan. Thankfully I had all the ingredients I needed at the house. So I decided to just “throw” it together and hope for the best.

Now I can’t draw by no means…so actually carving a cake sometimes isn’t the easiest thing for me to do. I wanted to try and make this one good. I couldn’t send my sister to school with a crappy cake, could I?

So I set out to make my cake. I use a large rectangle pan I had at the house. And made a MARVOLOUS (if I do say so myself) marble cake. Even had the hubby draw out a kitty face on cardboard for me to use as a template. The hubby is a wonderful artist!! **Frame his art work for Christmas, what a wonderful idea!!**

Anyways, I made my icing and colored parts pink, and black. I did my first crumb coat and it really started to come together. After I let it set, I covered the entire cake with tip 16 stars and commenced to finish decorating.

I really should have taken more pictures with different angles because you can't see the music notes all along the side. But you can get the idea.

I have to say, it turned out better than I thought it would.
