Hellooooooo Kitty!


The top tier was your standard vanilla cake because carrot cake simply would hold up with the carving.
I used premade rice krispie treats to shape the ears and they worked perfectly.

When using 3 tier there must be support. I didn't want to use wooden dowels because I found out you can use plastic drinking straws and they do the job.

After 4 hours of decorating she came out perfect. And my zebra print was cuuuute.

This was a test one I made about a month prior. That's just buttercream I used no fondant. You see how much smoother fondant is.


Interesting story as this was my first real delivery. She leaves in Reche Canyon and there is really one convenient way to get into Reche Canyon. Just as I am turning left at the light to go in a cop blocks it off and stops all flow of traffic into the canyon. Noooooo! So I call my friend tell her what happened she heard a man got hit by a car and actually died! This is crazy! Are you serious?
A: That's horrible
B: Life seems shorter when death is like a quarter mile away
C: Uh, the cake? What do I do? I feel heartless thinking about cake in this sitution.

So I drive around the canyon through Moreno Valley, get a little lost. But have no fear Hello Kitty is here. My cake delivered in good shape in time for the birthday girl to celebrate her 4th year!

Sadly as I drove out the canyon I drove past the accident and the man's motorized scooter was wedged under the front bumper of a car. Eeekkk. Ugh. I just twitch thinking about if I ever hit anyone in my car. Thank you Jesus for guiding my driving and drive slow in residential areas please.
