Hello Kitty Cake

I made this cake for Bella's 3rd birthday. I don't know who loves Hello Kitty more - my daughter or I.

I made the body by baking the cake in a mixing bowl, and her head is made of two cakes baked in smaller bowls. My friend, Linda, helped carve out the arms and ears from leftover cake. It took a few tries to get the eyes and nose positioned just right so it looked like Hello Kitty.

Bella loved it - it was worth the effort!
