Hello Kitty Cake

I made a Hello Kitty birthday cake for my colleague who is obsessed with Hello Kitty.

I found the following website in which you can download a Hello Kitty cake template for a 13 x 9 inch baking pan.

Originally, I wanted to make a Hello Kitty shaped cake, but I failed to make the sponge cake.  It broke when I tried to remove it from the pan.

In the end, I hid the broken sponge cake with icing and drew a Hello Kitty instead.

It is still very cute ;)

I used a cake mix box, so I am not going to talk about the recipe today.

I also used heavy cream as icing.

In the U.S., many people like to use butter cream or cream cheese icing.  Those icings are thick and easy to decorate with,  however, the cakes tend to be rich and fatty.

If you substitute the icing with heavy cream (or whipping cream), it tastes lighter and moist J

I like cake with heavy cream icing much better!!!
