HELLO KITTY BIRTHDAY CAKE

HAPPY APRIL FOOL DAY EVERYONE! 

ANYBODY GOT GOTCHA CALL? 

OR HAVING A BLUE MONDAY?

WHATEVER IT IS, ENJOY YOUR DAY TO THE FULLEST!

Last month, I've prepared a simple birthday cake for my niece, Bernice. This time, I made her a Hello Kitty birthday theme cake. I thought of keeping this Hello Kitty thing for my girl, Hebe's 2nd birthday, but I can't wait until Oct already. There are still long time to go...argghhh, I just can't wait! So I decided to make it for Bernice. After she celebrated her birthday at kindergarten @ Penang, she fall sick after that, poor baby. 

So, I thought it is good to have a small celebration, when she comes back here at Taiping during the weekend. I am superb happy to make the Hello Kitty chocolate transfer cake for her.

Bernice is the one stood up high. She saw the cake and gave me a big smile. "Thank You Pak Leong" ~ She thanked me then.

 I found out that the chocolate transfer method is very useful. I can just do any cartoons character. Well, of course not the complicated ones. Hehehe....

Spiderman & Garfield is my previous piece of work using melted chocolate.

This round I used white and dark chocolate for the Hello Kitty. I've made some extra cute hearts and written out Bernice name using chocolate. Thanks to Sweet Mui Mui's idea from My Little Favourite DIY.

For the basic sponge cake, again I used Sonia from Nasi Lemak Lover's recipe. View HERE. The recipe never fails me to have a moist and high sponge cake.

For this Hello Kitty birthday theme cake, I used the remaining Vivo - non dairy whipped cream I stored in the freezer. Suggested by Sonia also. Method to whip the cream please refer HERE. Then, I bought 100gm of chocolate rice to cover all over the side of the cake.

Hello Kitty Chocolate Transfer in the making. Aiks, my hand accidentally smeared the whipped cream surface and break the Hello Kitty whiskers too. By the way, these few days the weather is extremely hot.

Colourful heart shapes and letters are all using the remaining melted chocolate. My whipped cream didn't even set very well. But it is still ok. The complete cake I set inside the fridge for a day.

My piping is the worst. I'm still learning on how to pipe out nicely. I placed some red jelly on top for the finishing touch.

So this is the cake looks like. Simple to make if follow the steps closely. This round, I spend shorter time to prepare this cake.

 Happy 4th Birthday to Bernice. Her mum told me that she wanted a Mr Bean birthday cake to her kindergarten. Well, next time I can try to make Mr Bean too, should be fun. LoL...

Hmm... The kids keep picking the chocolate pieces and Longan. And I love Longan cake too. Yummy... 

Everyone had a slice, hubby said he don't want. Then the next day he asked me, "the Hello Kitty cake still got ar?".. I said no more lor.... hehehe.

You can always replaced the Longan with other fresh fruits from peach, strawberry, kiwi or grapes. During CNY, we received fruit cans from friends and relatives, so kind of make use of it before it get expired.

p/s: Here is another creative recipe of make dessert using Longan syrup with jelly. Please view from Yannie's site here...
