Hello Kitty!

I l♥ve Hello Kitty so, naturally, I was really excited to make these cupcakes for Zayna, whom I've known since she was just an itty bitty 3 year old. 

She celebrated her FIFTEENTH birthday this past weekend, (man, I feel old) and I wanted to do something fun and cute for her.

Truth be told, I was planning a Hello Kitty cake for my own birthday. (Yes, I make my own birthday cakes, an occupational hazard, what can I say?) But the Kitty cutters I snagged at the Hello Kitty Store were calling to me from their pretty pink packaging and chastising me for not inventing a way to use them the minute they came home with me.

So I was up 'til the wee hours of the morning, watching Grey's Anatomy reruns and putting letters and whiskers and those trademark red ribbons on each little Kitty face. 

I'm not going to lie, I was a teeny bit delirious by the end of it but they turned out so cute that it was well worth the effort : )
